Real Estate Documents
At Notary Point we also notarize real estate and mortgage documents for purchase and sale of residential and commercial properties within and outside of Canada. There are many benefits to notarizing real estate documents.
Notarizing documents essentially protects the party seeking notarization. However, when notarizing real estate documents, it adds security by ensuring the documents are legal and credible. Thereby protecting all parties involved in the transaction.
It is important to note that a notary cannot prepare legal documents themselves. Yet, in Ontario, real estate contracts typically require notarization. This is also to ensure that all parties agree to the transactions and their identities are also verified.
