Other Services

As notary publics, our lawyers can notarize signatures, prepare and sign notarial certificates, and commission signatures on documents in which you swear as to the truthfulness of their contents. Some of our staff can also swear documents as to the truthfulness of their contents.

Our minimum fee for this service is $75.00. This is for swearing a document or notarizing a signature where you come in with fully completed paperwork. If we have to create the document or assist you in completing a document that you bring in, fees will increase depending on what is involved, the extra time required, whether or not we have to deal with the matter on an urgent basis, and other factors. We will be pleased to give you an estimate of the fees once we see what needs to be done. All fees are subject to HST.
