We’re proud to have rolled out the red carpet for our clients with an industry-first offering: Live Document Drafting Appointments. This service marks a significant milestone in our mission to meet the varying needs of all our clients. 

In a Live Document Drafting session, a licensed expert drafts your document for you during an online video call, in real time. After the meeting, they’ll instantly send a completed, perfectly formatted document to your email, with no wait.

We’re thrilled to offer the convenience of an online service with a supportive human touch. Here, we explore how Live Document Drafting works, so your document creation goes off without a hitch!

How Does Live Document Drafting Work?

Our Live Document Drafting Appointments fuse the convenience of online document creation with the expertise of a skilled professional. Our experts are licensed by Canadian Law Societies to ensure accuracy and compliance with legal requirements. First, an expert drafts your document on your behalf, then they commission it for you. Here’s a deeper dive into the process:

1. Information Gathering & Document Drafting

At the time of your appointment, you’ll meet with an expert to go over your document needs. They will consult with you to understand your requirements and explore your objectives. Then, they’ll ask you some questions required to draft your document. With their extensive knowledge and experience, our experts will craft a perfectly formatted document tailored to your unique needs.

*Please note, while our experts specialize in drafting legal documents, we do not provide legal advice and no lawyer-client relationship is established.

2. Reviewing Your Drafted Document

Once your document has been created, you’ll have the opportunity to review it during your video call. You can request any required revisions; our professionals will prioritize your satisfaction and work closely with you to ensure every detail is accounted for. After your review, you’ll be asked to confirm that the information in your document is accurate and true. 

3. Commissioning Your Finalized Document

Once your document is finalized, you’ll seamlessly proceed to the commissioning portion of your appointment. During the commissioning, an expert will ensure that you understand and can attest to what you’re signing, and they’ll witness your signature. They’ll also confirm your identity and that the information you’ve provided is true.

After the signing, the expert will affix a notary public’s seal onto your document to indicate that the facts within it are true. Whether you need to have your document commissioned or witnessed — our experts have you covered.

Commissioning has the same effect as swearing to tell the truth under oath in a court of law. It prevents fraud, and is mandatory in most provinces for certain agreements, such as mortgages, deeds, easements, statutory declarations, affidavits, and more. Our online notary platform uses the latest security features, so you can rest assured your personal information will remain protected.

NotaryPro provides in-person, virtual commissioning and virtual witnessing services in compliance with the laws and regulations of Ontario, Canada. Our services are performed by licensed legal professionals, including commissioners for taking affidavits and other authorized professionals, who are duly authorized to administer oaths, affirmations, and statutory declarations in accordance with the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act (Ontario) and related provincial legislation.

Online or remote notarization is not yet explicitly regulated under Ontario law. As a result, NotaryPro does not provide online notarial services, including the digital notarization of documents. Any references on our platform to terms such as ""notary,"" ""online notary,"" ""notarize online,"" or similar expressions are used strictly in an informal and descriptive manner. These references relate exclusively to our legally recognized remote/virtual commissioning and virtual witnessing services, which are distinct from notarial acts.

NotaryPro is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, legal representation, or legal opinions. While we facilitate virtual commissioning and virtual witnessing services, we do not offer legal guidance on the validity, enforceability, or acceptance of documents by third parties.

If you require legal advice regarding the execution, validity, or use of a document, we strongly recommend consulting a qualified lawyer or other legal professionals. Additionally, before proceeding with virtual commissioning, virtual witnessing, or electronic document execution, it is advisable to verify acceptance with the intended recipient(s), such as courts, government agencies, or other institutions.
