Services
Hilde Deprez and Filip de Sagher are Notaries Public with an office in Vancouver's West Side. They both graduated with a Master of Laws degree from the University of Leuven, Belgium, married in 1992 and moved to Canada in the fall of 1996. They are BC Notaries since 2001 and 2003 respectively. Hilde and Filip are actively involved in their community and render notarial services with a personal commitment to their clients.
Yes, Point Grey to the West, Dunbar to the South and Kitsilano to the East and our office is in the middle of it all: Alma Village! This is where we live, this is where we work. Truly the best place on earth! We are both members of the Society of Notaries Public of BC, our professional organization.
Societies all over the world throughout history have always needed to put their trust in a specific person to take exact notes of what happened at a certain time and place. As such, the "Notary" is one of the oldest professions in the world! From its very conception as a colony, the Province of British Columbia entrusted "the Notary Public" with real estate and estate planning transactions and made the profession a cornerstone of the community.
We are PASSIONATE about assisting clients with their Estate and Incapacity Planning. Even though most of us agree that "Planning for the Un-planned" makes absolute sense, most of us don't have this at the top of our "To Do List". It is no doubt human nature to think that we will have the time to plan.
When you are unable (temporarily or permanently) to make decisions concerning your finances, your health or medical care, who should be your trusted spokesperson and advocate? Most of us will be confronted several times throughout our life with a medical intervention which does not result in our death but which will leave an imprint on how we think, what we wish for and what our needs may be.

Can't recommend highly enough. Filip handled my conveyance for the purchase of a new property. He was helpful and responsive, walked me through the paperwork in a way that was easy to understand, and was very organized and well prepared. All at a better price than I was quoted by another local notary!

Professional, friendly and efficient superstar service. I have visited Deprez & Associates a number of times over the past few years and have been greeted with kindness and smooth service during each visit. Today, I visited the office quite stressed and confused about the process of notarising some overseas legal documents so I visited the office using a walk in service. The notary explained very clearly what was required, instantly putting my mind at ease and swiftly assisting me with the process. What had began as an extremely stressful day for me was quickly turned around by the helpfulness

Deprez and Associates are professional, organized, and meticulous. True professionals who know their business well and take good care of their clients. We worked with Hilde this time for house conveyancing and she was fantastic. Last time we worked with Filip, Hilde's husband, and he too was amazing. Reliable, fast, thorough, and trustworthy. Reasonable rates. Personally, I'd much rather support a well-run family business than a corporate law firm.

My wife, was introduced to Filip and Hilde over 18 years ago by her then banker for her first real estate purchase and has never looked back. In all those years, she has recommended Filip and Hilde to dozens of friends and family, myself included. I had the pleasure of working with them for the first time 11 years ago on our first real estate purchase together.
Now, you might think that the services of a notary public would be a dry and boring commodity, but both Filip and Hilde bring something very special to the experience: they put you at ease. No matter if discussing wills or completing a

We've now used Deprez & Associates for several mortgages and our Will. They are the best Notary we've ever used - good at explaining things and confidence-inspiring competent. On our most recent mortgage, less than 24 hours lapsed between signing the paperwork with them, and having the loan in the bank. That's pretty impressive and we'd recommend Filip and Hilde to anyone.

My extended family and I have used Deprez and Associates on multiple real estate transactions and preparation of other documents. I enjoy the personal touch from Hilde and Filip, and the care and attention they bring to their work. I have always found their prices reasonable. In several transactions with tight deadlines, they were able to meet our deadlines. I will definitely continue to use Deprez and Associates in the future.
