Default Notary Public/ Lawyer Queston

So, I got this pile of documents faxed from a Lawyer out east about a Real Estate transaction. I need to get them Notarized, and my wife has to sign one and have it notarized by a lawyer without me around.

Anyone know where I can get stuff Notarized in Calgary, and if one of thoes places would have a lawyer to sign the other statement with just my wife?...

I think that all lawyers are notaries, so that should make things easier (IIRC).

Sounds like you wife has to meet a seperate lawyer for Independent Legal Advice?

I believe in troutman's office there is a sign requiring your first born child in exchange for notary services. Although I may be mistaken.

Yes, she has a statment already drawn up by our lawyer, but she has to sign it with a seperate lawyer. It's such a pain for something so minor, but I guess it's the law.

Are there any offices where we can "kill 2 birds with 1 stone?" and do we really have to be seperate when she signs it, I'm mean in all likely hood we're gonna drive there together...

No, you have to go to seperate lawyers. If you come see me (NW Calgary), I won't charge for your notary. Your wife will have to go to a different office than you.

As long as Troutman signs my EULA, I'm willing to deal...

If you are downtown and in need of a notary, I know a guy who can hook you up.

Aren't there notary's everywhere? In Van, you can find one in every community. Shouldn't be too hard to find one close and convenient for you.

mg and I are talking, and the problem is his wife needs ILA on NFLD docs. How can an AB lawyer be authorized to give advice about NFLD law? A pet peeve of mine. I think some AB lawyers do it, but I'm not sure it is proper.

My wife was talking with the lawyer and mentioned that, and the lawyer responded with "We just dealt with this in Ft. Mcmurray, and it wasn't a problem".

My wife, quickly replied with "The lawyer was prolly a Newfie"... and the lawyer out there said after a brief silence.. "ok, lets work this a different way".


It's not the lawyern I hate, It's the fact I can't do it myself.

This was a joke, btw.

Maybe I need to work on my delivery?

BUMP

I need to fly to England for a funeral next week, and I'm thinking about taking my 13 month old boy with me, since he flies for free, and because a lot of the family would meet him for the first time. My wife is staying in Canada. We want to get her signed off on a letter of approval for me taking him without both parents so there are no travel hiccups.

I understand this document needs to be notarized? Not sure what even to write on the paper to take? Who would I take that to? How much would it cost? I heard the banks do it? I suspect that would only be for financial documents?

Anyone have experience with this?

The Government of Canada website has a great template for these letters: http://travel.gc.ca/docs/child/conse...active-eng.pdf Very simple, fill in the blanks sort of deal.

When you travel, ensure you have the long form birth certificate listing both yours and your wife's name. They will check this against the letter. You can take it to any notary or commissary of oaths and have them sign off. Both you and your wife should be present as it makes it much easier for the notary to figure out that the letter is legit.

Interesting. I didn't know you needed a consent from your wife. Can someone confirm this. I knew you needed one if there was a custody situation but if not i thought you could each take your kids wherever and whenever you wanted

I actually don't know, I've just seen it a lot on the US websites. There's no custody issues, she's not coming due to work.

My sister in law just had a letter like this drawn up that I commissioned for her so her parents could fly her son back from vegas after her wedding without her or her husband

I can commission for you if you need. I'm downtown or in bridlewood. I'm interested in the answer though from people that have knowledge

My thought was how would they know at the airport if there was a custody issue? So we wanted to be safe and just do it anyways so that he doesn't get denied at the airport.
