Commissioner for Taking Affidavits
Instead of notarizing a document as a true copy or as containing a true signature or marks, among other notary functions, many documents instead require commissioning. A Commissioner for Taking Affidavits is empowered to administer an Oath and to witness the swearing or affirming of the Oaths of truth regarding statements made within an Affidavit or Declaration. Of course, such is without saying that the Commissioner for Taking Affidavits confirms that what is stated within the document is true whereas the Commissioner for Taking Affidavits merely witnesses and confirms that the Deponent, being the person who swears or affirms the Oath, states that the contents of the document are true.
Pricing
Pricing for notarizing and commissioning services may vary subject to the nature of the particular requirements of the documents involved, the particular circumstances involved, and the expected time involved.
NOTE: A considerable multitude of inquiries featuring “lawyers in my vicinity” or “top lawyer in” typically signal a demand for prompt, effective legal assistance rather than a particular designation. In Ontario, “licensed paralegals” operate under the same Law Society that governs lawyers and are permitted to advocate for clients in specific litigation situations. Skills in advocacy, legal interpretation, and procedural knowledge are fundamental to that position. Lynxs Paralegal provides legal representation within its authorized parameters, focusing on strategic positioning, evidence preparation, and compelling advocacy aimed at securing efficient and advantageous outcomes for clients.
