Are you purchasing a property outside of British Columbia, we can assist in being the witnessing agent for out of province work. This generally involves real estate transactions or paperwork required in another Canadian Province. If the person who must sign the paperwork does not wish to (or cannot) travel to that province, then an out of province witnessing agent allows the individual to sign in their home province. For example, this often occurs when a person buys or sells real estate in a province other than the one they live in. Instead of travelling to sign paperwork, the lawyer in the province in which the property is, prepares all the documents and then sends them for signing in a place convenient for the buyer or seller.

Sometimes, people have transactions within British Columbia but may need a witnessing agent within the province to avoid having to travel to that other city. For example, an individual buying a home in Victoria but who lives in Vancouver, may use a lawyer in Vancouver to sign the paperwork drafted in Victoria.  It is  important to note that a lawyer in British Columbia may act throughout the province of British Columbia. No limits exist for practising in the different cities or towns within the province.
