Do I need to bring a witness? Does NotaryPro provide a witness?
NotaryPro will provide you with a second witness to sign your Will and Power of Attorney while on the online video call.
NotaryPro’s notary public will serve as the first witness (as a licensed legal professional) in accordance with Ontario and BC law.
All Wills and Power of Attorneys must be signed by two witnesses to be valid in Canada.
I signed my Will. Now what do I do?
The law currently requires physical “wet ink” signatures on the original document (Will or Power of Attorney).
After you physically sign your Will, NotaryPro and the additional witness will physically sign their counterpart copy.
Once signed, NotaryPro will mail or courier the signed witness copy of the Will back to you. Keep and store both the original and the signed witness copies.
I'm in BC. Can Notary Pro sign my will and Power of Attorney?
At this time, for Wills and Power of Attorneys, Notary Pro is only able to serve clients located in Ontario and is offered only by licensed Ontario Notary Publics.
We are planning to be able to serve clients located throughout Canada very soon.
