AFFIDAVITS

An affidavit is a document containing a statement that the deponent swears to be true to the best of their knowledge.

The commissioner then signs as confirmation that the oath or affirmation was properly administered and that the deponent signed the document after taking the oath.

Instead of a commissioner, a notary public or another officer of the court may administer oaths or affirmations and similarly sign in confirmation.

LETTERS OF INVITATION

Depending on the country of origin, some foreign Nationals wishing to visit Canada must apply for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV). In order to do so, a letter of invitation is often required. This letter is written on behalf of the Canadian resident who wishes to invite the person to apply for a visitor visa.

Once the letter is prepared and notarized (not mandatory), the person visiting Canada must submit the original letter along with their application and other required documents to apply for the visitor visa.

STATUTORY DECLARATIONS

A statutory declaration is a written summary of facts which the declarant solemnly states to be true before signing the documented summary. A statutory declaration is not sworn; rather it is affirmed to be true and must be witnessed by a attorney, barrister, solicitor, notary public or some other designated officials.

CERTIFIED TRUE COPIES

It may be required on some occasions to obtain and use copies of a document rather than the actual document itself. In this situation, we can photocopy the document and certify it as being a true or genuine copy of the original by affixing a signature, seal and statement to that effect on the copy. As a result, the veracity of the copied document is assured to persons to whom the photocopied document is later presented.

CONSENT TO TRAVEL DOCUMENTS

Many countries now require that documentary evidence in the form of a notarized consent to travel letter be presented to establish the permission of the parent(s) / legal guardian(s) for a minor to cross international borders with an accompanying adult. This requirement is in addition to other legal requirements as specified by airlines and official authorities. This is due to increasing concern for the safety of children. Consequently, many governments including that of Canada have initiated special requirements as indicated above when children under 18 years of age are travelling without both parents.

WILL

It is imperative for adults to have an up to date Will, they can also review it periodically or with the occurrence of a major life event such as purchase of property, the birth of a baby, death of a beneficiary, change in financial and marital status etc.).

A will is a legally enforceable document. As such, it should be professionally prepared so that it properly reflects in writing the final decisions about the distribution of the testator's assets.

Power of Attorney

It is a legally recognized and enforceable document that allows you to choose the person(s) you want to make decisions on your behalf in situations where you are unable. There are two important powers of attorney, Power of Attorney for Property and Power of Attorney for Personal Care, It is improtant to note that a power of attorney is different from a will.
