Peterborough: Trent, Fleming and cottage-country estates
Trent University and Fleming College give Peterborough a large student population relative to its size, and student paperwork — OSAP declarations, guarantor affidavits, status declarations for international students — is a steady part of what we commission here. Peterborough Regional Health Centre is the city’s largest employer, and its staff bring employment and pension declarations.
Peterborough is also the service town for the Kawartha Lakes cottage belt, and that shapes the estate side of our work: declarations by executors, sworn statements about cottage occupancy and ownership for a family transfer, and affidavits supporting probate files where a beneficiary lives elsewhere in the province. A video appointment reaches the cottage in July and the city apartment in January alike.
Commonly requested in Peterborough

- Executor and beneficiary declarations for estate files
- Sworn statements about cottage ownership and occupancy
- Employment and pension declarations for hospital staff
