Buying, selling, or refinancing a property is a major financial milestone. When your primary real estate lawyer is located in another city, province, or country, traveling to sign your closing documents in person isn’t always feasible. Our licensed Ontario Notary Publics act as your trusted local signing agents, providing fast and secure Real Estate Document Notarization in North York to ensure your transaction closes on time.
A Real Estate Notary is a licensed legal professional—such as an Ontario Notary Public or Commissioner of Oaths—authorized to verify identities, administer solemn oaths, and witness the signing of property and mortgage-related legal documents.
While a handling real estate lawyer manages title searches, funds transfers, and land registry filings, a Real Estate Notary focuses specifically on the physical execution of your paperwork. They ensure that all signatures are properly witnessed, required affidavits (such as Land Transfer Tax declarations) are legally sworn, and official embossed seals are applied so that out-of-town lawyers, lenders, and government agencies will accept the documents.
This service is essential whenever you are purchasing or selling out-of-province property, dealing with an international real estate transaction, refinancing a mortgage with an online lender, or when an out-of-town law firm requires an independent local notary to verify your identity in person.
We work closely with individuals, mortgage brokers, and out-of-town law firms to execute a wide variety of property-related legal paperwork. Common real estate documents we process include:
Buying or selling property in Alberta, British Columbia, or other provinces while living in Ontario.
Executing closing documents or Powers of Attorney for real estate located outside of Canada.
Sworn statements, mortgage commitments, and banking documents requiring independent witness verification.
Spousal property transfers, survivorship applications, and family property gifts.
For construction loans, builder draws, and renovation funding.
Real estate transactions require a high level of security and strict identity verification. To ensure a smooth signing appointment, please bring the following:
Bring all documents provided by your primary real estate lawyer or bank. Do not sign any of the documents before your appointment. They must be signed in the physical presence of the Notary Public.
If your out-of-town lawyer has provided a specific "Letter of Instruction" for the notary, please bring it. This ensures we follow their exact protocol for witnessing and sealing.
Real estate fraud prevention protocols generally require two pieces of identification. Bring at least one piece of government-issued photo ID (Passport, Driver’s License) and a secondary ID (credit card, birth certificate).
Real estate packages can be thick, but our pricing remains transparent and easy to understand. Review our full notary fee schedule for more details.

No. When acting as a Notary Public for out-of-town transactions, our role is strictly to verify your identity, witness your signature, and administer oaths.

We can provide certified true copies or scan the executed documents to your email so you can forward them to your lawyer immediately. If physical mailing is required, you will be responsible for shipping the documents via Canada Post, FedEx, or Purolator after your appointment.
