Hand sanitizer from Wayward Distillery and nitrile gloves are provided at our reception desk for use by clients. A separate signing office has been set up in an otherwise unused portion of our building (with a separate entrance) to reduce contact between clients and staff. Sanitized and otherwise unused pens are provided at signing (and you get to take them home).
The signing area, door handles and payment terminals are all wiped with bleach between clients. Alternate arrangements can be made for signing of wills, powers of attorney, real estate transfers and mortgages during this difficult time. Let's work together to help raise the funds for two new affordable housing projects for Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North.

We are a collection of old friends and bright young faces doing business in a new way - in an old house. So what does that mean? Know what you are going to pay. One of the fears and frustrations of dealing with many firms is billing based on time. People are afraid to call, fearing that they are going to be billed for talking on the phone.
Notaries Public in British Columbia practice law in very specific fields mandated by the BC Notaries Act. Essentially, we take affidavits, register documents with government registries and provide legal advice in our areas of practice, which are all non-contentious. That means that we do not get involved in civil, criminal or family law.
A Will expresses your final wishes, including naming the person who will be responsible for following those wishes (your Executor or Trustee), naming the person who will be responsible for caring for your minor children (the Guardian), if any, the distribution of your assets after the payment of your debts and any funeral directions.
A Power of Attorney is a legal appointment of another person to be able to act on your behalf. The power is limited to financial and legal documents. Decisions of a medical nature or about the kind of care you receive are handled by other means. There are many reasons to appoint an attorney to act on your behalf, such as if you are often away and need someone to sign documents for you while you are out of town.
In British Columbia, you have the ability to appoint someone to act on your behalf for legal and financial matters through a Power of Attorney. It does not give that person the power to make medical or care decisions for you.
An adult in British Columbia is always assumed to have ability to make their own care decisions and no medical practitioner in British Columbia may perform any procedure or care routine without your consent (emergency situations can imply consent).So what happens if you are not able to give consent, either because you are unconscious or not mentally capable?

It took ten days to get a simple codicil done. A document of less than 250 words, the number of errors that had to be corrected took at least 6 revisions. Good clerical work with the ability to proofread must be hard to find. I could have typed it myself in ten minutes. I am definitely not going back!

Everything was done to a T as you would expect all legal businesses to operate. Everyone was so sweet and smiling even Molly. I use them to sell my place up in Penticton and I’m going to use them again right now as I’ve sold my house in Courtenay. Thank you for everybody’s being there for me as I am I have not been myself since my husband passed away. Thanks again.

Lyle and the team were supportive and patient during what felt like the convoluted and challenging acquisition of an incorporated business. There were many factors to consider during the transition and it felt like they made sure we took the time to carefully consider everything involved, including those outside their purview, such as liability and insurance.

Inattentive and rude. Never again!
Legal matters are important and stressful to deal with. A person doesn't need the added stress of dealing with negative attitudes, incompetence, and brash "professionals".
Please look for other legal providers if you care about customer service and administrative competencies!

As a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions. Dale was unable/unwilling to answer any of them. He was tardy on every aspect of the sale and on the closing date I had to call their office 3 times to get the paperwork so the sale didn't fall through. I think the only thing worse than Dale was his assistant Tara. She was completely rude, and I had to send back the statement of adjustment 3 times because she couldn't figure out how to do it properly. She eventually sent me a PDF and said to do it myself. Save yourself a whole lot of stress and use a different notary. There is plenty of other

Every single person I've ever dealt with there has been fantastic. They are fast, professional, courteous and go out of their way to provide exceptional service. As a mortgage broker I consistently refer clients to this office because I know they will have a great experience and their transaction will be completed quickly with attention to detail.

I have had many dealings with selling and buying real estate. Working with Dale Roberts Notary has been my worst experience ever! The staff didn't seem to know what they were doing, faxes didn't go thru, emails bouncing back, Dale not having the time of day for a brief conversation, it was a nightmare. The kicker is when I didn't get my monies on time, all because of their incompetency. I would never use them again!
