Charlene Silvester Notary Public
When working with a Notary, you are giving more than just your signature. Your signature is a symbol of your identity and your solemn promise. Notaries have become stewards of formally signing documents. Working with a Notary speaks of trust, it says "yes" and it means working toward your goal. The buying of real estate and selling of property is often the biggest financial transaction of a person's life.

Hiring a notary to manage the intricacies of property transfers, registration and financing can make your real estate transaction smooth and straight forward. Planning for the future is essential these days. Having a trusted notary help with the preparation and registration of a will, perform wills searches and preparation of a power attorney provides you with peace of mind knowing that your family is cared for.

I grew up in Vernon and worked in the tourism sector for many years before returning to school to obtain my Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Victoria and then my Notary Public Preparatory Course through the University of British Columbia. My legal and teacher training background gives me a solid foundation for being detailed orientated and well organized.

1. Choose an Executor: it is best if your executor is familiar with your situation and your wishes. Ask if they would be willing to act for you in this capacity and then obtain their full legal names. 2. Choose an alternate executor: it is important to name an alternate or back-up executor in your Will because, if the executor is unable or unwilling to act, the alternate will take over.

Charlene and her team handled the closing on our recent house purchase. They did a great job and were so pleasant to work with.

I havent tried their service yet but by just talking to the staff on the phone for inquiry, it already gave me a bad impression of the office.. staff is not friendly and welcoming.

I've gone to Charlene through my entire immigration process for notarised copies and have had nothing but kind, helpful, and sincerely nice people help me from this notary. They've gone well above and beyond for me.

I have had the opportunity of working with Charlene several times. She provides excellent service, is knowledgeable, and always takes the time to explain everything. I recommend her to everyone that needs a Notary.

Extremely poor experience. She could not perform the legal services I hired her for and still charged me. I had to hire a lawyer to get my money back from her.
