Who Is a Notary Public?

Answer:

A Notary Public in Toronto is a lawyer or licensed paralegal in good standing who has been appointed by the Attorney General of the province of Ontario to witness, certify and attest to the execution of various legal documents, such as affidavits, powers of attorney and contracts, and attest documents to be true copies of the original.

The role of a Notary Public is to ensure that the signatories of the documents are who they say they are, that they are signing the document voluntarily and with a complete understanding of its contents and that they are aware of the legal consequences of the document. The Notary Public also verifies the authenticity of the signatures and seals on the documents. It provides a certification or notarial seal to the executed documents.

Red or Gold seal: Which is better?

Answer:

In Toronto, notaries public use both red and gold seals for notarizing documents. However, there are distinct differences and benefits associated with each seal, particularly in terms of their recognition and visibility on documents. The choice of seal colour often depends on the specific requirements of the document being notarized and the preference of the notary or the client. The choice of seal colour might also be influenced by the jurisdiction’s legal requirements where you want to use the document. In many cases within Ontario, the colour of the notary seal is not mandated by law. However, for documents intended for international use, specific requirements might necessitate using a gold seal for better recognition and visibility.

Gold Seal

The Gold seals also have practical advantages in terms of visibility through photocopying, scanning, and faxing. Gold seals retain their distinctiveness when copied or scanned, ensuring the notarization mark is clearly visible on electronic versions of the document.

Red Seal

A red seal might not be as clearly visible as a gold seal in these cases, potentially making it less suitable for documents that require electronic submission or archiving. Unlike gold seal, red seals might appear as a dark smear.

What is the difference between a Seal and a Notary Stamp?

Answer:

In Toronto, and more broadly in Ontario, a Notary Public can use either a notary seal or a notary stamp to authenticate documents and verify their actions. Although both serve the same purpose, there are some differences in their functionalities and legal acceptances.

A notary seal traditionally refers to an embossed mark made by a metal crimping device, leaving a raised imprint on the document. This embossment includes critical information like the notary’s name, commission expiration date, and jurisdiction.

On the other hand, a notary stamp is an inked impression that provides similar information for document authentication. The stamps are available in various shapes and sizes, usually round or rectangular, and like seals, contain the notary’s details.

The main difference lies in the form (embossed vs. inked) and how each mark is visible on the document (raised vs. flat).

Both are legally accepted; the choice between a seal and a stamp can depend on jurisdictional requirements and the specific needs of the document.

Do you check documents for accuracy?

Answer:

When you go to a notary to sign a document, they will not review it for accuracy or provide legal advice. Their role is to certify your signature and confirm your identity (they will request your identification to ensure that you are who you claim to be.)

How many witnesses are required to witness a Power of Attorney?

Answer:

The requirement for witnesses on a Power of Attorney (POA) document varies by jurisdiction, including differences across countries, states, or provinces. Here’s a general overview, with a note on Ontario, Canada, as an example:

General Requirements:
Two Witnesses: Many jurisdictions require the signature of the Power of Attorney document to be witnessed by two mentally competent adults who are not named in the document. This is a common standard to help ensure the document’s legitimacy and the Principal’s voluntary act of signing.

Notary Public: Some places require the document to be notarized in addition to or instead of witnesses. A notary public can also serve as a witness but adds the extra layer of formally acknowledging the document through a notarial seal, which can enhance its acceptance in various legal and financial situations.

Ontario, Canada:
As of my last update in April 2023, Ontario requires that a Continuing Power of Attorney for Property or a Power of Attorney for Personal Care must be signed in the presence of two witnesses. These witnesses cannot be the spouse or partner of the person giving the power of attorney (the Principal), the attorney, the attorney’s spouse or partner, the Principal’s child, or someone whom the Principal treats like a child. It’s always best to check the most current legal requirements or consult with a legal professional in your jurisdiction, as laws and regulations can change.

Special Cases:
Durable Powers of Attorney: Requirements for a durable power of attorney, which remains in effect if the Principal becomes incapacitated, may have stricter witnessing or notarization requirements to ensure the document’s validity and durability.

Health Care Power of Attorney: Some jurisdictions have specific requirements for health care directives or medical powers of attorney, including who can act as a witness, aiming to avoid conflicts of interest.

Practical Tips:
Witness Selection: Choose witnesses who are impartial and have no stake in the POA to ensure there are no questions about undue influence or the voluntary nature of the document.

Consult Legal Advice: Because witnessing requirements can be nuanced and subject to change, it’s wise to consult a legal professional in your specific jurisdiction to ensure all legal requirements are met for your Power of Attorney to be valid and effective.

Always ensure that your Power of Attorney complies with the latest legal standards in your jurisdiction to avoid any issues with its recognition and enforcement when needed.
