Real Estate Conveyancing

Purchase, Sale, Refinance/Mortgage, Business Asset Transactions

Buying, selling, or refinancing a property is more than just a transaction—it’s a major life transition. As your Notary Public, I provide the legal bridge between your agreement and a successful closing. I specialize in conveyancing, the meticulous legal process of transferring ownership and ensuring every financial and legal detail is captured accurately.

Whether you are navigating the residential market or a complex business asset transaction, I provide expert guidance across the following areas of property law:

How I Assist You:

Acting for the Purchaser: I conduct thorough due diligence, including title searches to identify restrictive covenants or liens. I calculate Property Transfer Tax, prepare Statement of Adjustments, and ensure you receive a clear title on closing day.
Acting for the Seller: I coordinate with your financial institution to discharge existing mortgages, calculate real estate commissions, and ensure the secure receipt and payout of sale proceeds so your obligations are fully met.
Borrowers & Lenders (Refinancing): If you are restructuring your debt or accessing equity, I act as the vital link between you and your bank. I prepare and register new mortgage security while ensuring all previous charges are properly removed.
Business Asset Transactions: Beyond bricks and mortar, I facilitate the legal transfer of business assets. This includes navigating commercial leases, security agreements, and the intricate documentation required when a business changes hands.

From the first title search to the final registration at the Land Title Office, I handle the complex paperwork and secure fund transfers so you can focus on your future. My mission is to ensure your interests are protected with the highest standard of legal precision and professional integrity.

Estate Planning/Personal Planning

Wills, Power of Attorney, Representation Agreement, Advance Directives

Planning for the future is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your loved ones. It ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes and, perhaps more importantly, that your health and financial affairs are managed by people you trust if you are ever unable to speak for yourself.

As a Notary Public, I specialize in "Personal Planning" documents. I provide the legal expertise to ensure your documents are not only clearly written but also fully compliant with BC laws, such as the Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA).

Comprehensive Planning Services:

Wills: The foundation of any estate plan. I assist in drafting Wills that clearly outline how your estate should be distributed, who will act as your Executor, and who will be the guardian of your minor children.
Enduring Power of Attorney: This document protects your financial and legal interests while you are still alive. It allows you to appoint a person you trust (your "Attorney") to manage your bank accounts, pay your bills, or even sell your real estate if you become incapacitated or are physically unavailable.
Representation Agreements: While a Power of Attorney handles your money, a Representation Agreement handles you. This document allows you to name a representative to make personal and health care decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so, ensuring your advocate has the legal standing to talk to doctors and care facilities.
Advance Directives: For those who want to provide direct instructions to healthcare providers regarding specific medical treatments or end-of-life care, an Advance Directive serves as your "voice" in the room when you cannot communicate.

Why Start Your Planning Today?

Without these documents in place, your family may be forced to undergo a costly and stressful court process (known as Committeership) to gain the authority to help you. By sitting down with a Notary now, you replace uncertainty with a clear, legally binding roadmap.

I offer a supportive, jargon-free environment where we can discuss your unique family situation and build a plan that gives you true peace of mind.

Notarizations

Invitation Letters, Affidavits, True Copies, International Documents, Police Clearance Certificates, and more.

Beyond real estate and estate planning, a Notary Public serves as a high-authority witness and verifier for a wide range of legal and official documents. Whether you are dealing with international travel, government forms, or private contracts, my seal provides the "gold standard" of authentication required by courts, registries, and foreign consulates.

I provide efficient and reliable services for the various "miscellaneous" legal requirements of daily life, including:

Document Authentication & Verification

Certified True Copies: When you need to provide a copy of an original document (such as a passport, birth certificate, or degree) to an organization, I can certify that the copy is a genuine and accurate reproduction of the original.
Statutory Declarations: Formal written statements that you declare to be true for legal or regulatory purposes, often required for insurance claims or government applications.
Affidavits: Witnessing your signature on sworn statements of fact used in court proceedings or for other legal matters.

Travel & Family Matters

Travel Consent Letters: If a child is traveling abroad with only one parent, or with a guardian, many countries (and airlines) require a notarized letter of consent to prevent international parental child abduction.
International Documents: I assist in witnessing signatures for documents that will be sent outside of British Columbia, ensuring they meet the necessary formal requirements.

Personal & Professional Forms

Letters of Invitation: Often required for friends or family members applying for a visitor visa to enter Canada.
Insurance & Pension Forms: Verification of identity and signature for the processing of benefits or claims.
Proof of Identity: Official verification for professional licensing boards or identity-theft recovery.

And many more!

Most notarization appointments are quick and straightforward. My goal is to ensure that your paperwork is executed correctly the first time, preventing costly delays or rejections by the receiving institution.
