In speaking with many busy Calgarians, we've learned how difficult it can be to get documents notarized, as your own work and personal schedule typically makes it extremely challenging to schedule, let alone find, a lawyer or other authorized person to notarize your legal papers, while many legal professionals have already committed their primary work hours to existing legal work, such that fitting in the unscheduled notarization of documents is difficult to justify (given that all too frequently, the paperwork that individuals believe merely need to be notarized, actually requires the provision of independent legal advice, which can take significant additional time and represents added cost, as there are many documents that cannot be simply signed and notarized by a lawyer / notary public).
To address the difficulty in addressing the need for notary public services in Calgary, where our own daily schedule makes it difficult to fit in notarizations during the course of the regular workday, we have taken to providing pre-scheduled notary public services on select evenings and weekends in North Calgary (together with Bearspaw and SW Calgary north of 17th Ave SW), where we meet at a mutually convenient location to complete the document notarization at a pre-scheduled time that works for both yourself and myself (we also provide a comparable notarization service throughout the province of Alberta that is undertaken by video call).
We do require that all documents that are to be notarized are emailed to our law firm in advance (together with your location), such that we might confirm in advance if independent legal advice or other special actions are required for purposes of completing the legal paperwork, and to confirm the actual costs. If you require a single notarization of a document, (1) with no independent legal advice or special actions or circumstances being required, (2) your anticipated cost would be as follows:
| $145.00 (plus applicable disbursements and taxes) | If located in North Calgary (west of Deerfoot Avenue) and Bearspaw |
| $195.00 (plus applicable disbursements and taxes) | If located in North Calgary (east of Deerfoot Avenue) or Southwest Calgary (north of 17th Avenue SW) |
(1) If there are no conflicts of interest or other legal impediments, our cost includes notarizing the same form of document for your spouse or notarizing an additional one to four documents of the same form at the scheduled meeting; however, we require that you confer with us in advance, given that there can be legal impediments to providing notarizations for additional persons in certain circumstances. Additional charges if more than four original documents are being notarized. Please confer with our office as to the cost of notarizing such added originals of your documents.
(2) If independent legal advice or special actions or circumstances are involved, we will look to provide you with the intended cost of our legal services in advance, such that you make an appropriate determination prior to our travelling out to meet with you and complete the agreed upon paperwork (i.e., the completion of a Guarantees Acknowledgment Act Certificate in furtherance of a personal guarantee by statute requires that independent legal advice is provided, this is explicitly set out in the statute, such that this document cannot be simply notarized but requires engagement of the lawyer for that specific purpose). Our evening / weekend appointments include completing proof of life documents.
To schedule an appointment, please contact our law firm to attain our current availability for an evening / weekend session to notarize a document(s), email our law firm in strict confidence at Chris@NeufeldLegal.com with your contact information (including home address), preferred times and PDFs of the documents to be completed, such that we might coordinate the actual meeting time and confirm our costs.
