About your notary
Your Durham Region Notary
Commissioned notary public for Ontario · Lawyer · Trust & Estate Practitioner (TEP)
Background
Your notary is a lawyer licensed by the Law Society of Ontario, with nearly two decades of professional experience across trust, estate and corporate practice in Canada and internationally, and holds the internationally recognized TEP (Trust & Estate Practitioner) designation from STEP — the global professional body for practitioners in trusts, estates and related fields.
That background matters for notarial work: powers of attorney, estate documents, international paperwork and sworn declarations are handled every day by someone who understands exactly what receiving institutions — courts, banks, immigration authorities, foreign governments — expect to see.
Based in Whitby, and serving all of Durham Region on weekday evenings and weekends, because documents rarely need notarizing between nine and five.

An important note about legal services
Although your notary is professionally qualified as a lawyer, legal advice and legal services are not provided through notary appointments. Appointments booked through this practice cover notarial services only: witnessing signatures, administering oaths and declarations, and certifying true copies. If your situation calls for legal advice — for example, deciding what your power of attorney should say — you should consult a lawyer under a separate engagement before your documents are prepared.
