Why do we have Notaries in Montreal? The answer lies in the origin of Quebec. In 1774 the “Treaty of Paris” was passed and British sovereignty allowed for the people to keep their religion and French civil law. In 1847, following many years of resistance from the French, the country was finally divided into two halves: Lower Canada (Quebec) and Upper Canada (Ontario). In 1867 the British North America Act which gave provinces control of just commune. Quebec until today continues to run under the French civil law and Montreal being a part of that equation follows the same code.
What are the characteristics of a Notary? A Montreal Notary is a notary of Latin origin but has begun to expand its meaning to practicing notaries in Montreal. There are differences between a Notary in Montreal and international Notaries. Here, there are no limits as to how many notaries can be practicing. As well, the profession in Quebec does not exclude one practicing from territorial restrictions. Bilingualism is another huge obligation to the profession. One should be able to be served in a language he/she understands.
What is a Notary? In Montreal (and all of Quebec) a notary will deal in all aspects of the law other than litigation. The major focus of the profession and Montreal notary revolves around the conveyance of immovable properties. Like many of its Latin constituents a Notary in Montreal must hold an LL.L, LL.B, or B.C.L.
What are the professional laws Administering a Montreal Notary? Montreal notaries have certain obligations that they must follow that are different from being an advocate. They have the exclusive entitlement to provide authenticity to deeds and instruments. Unlike advocates, Montreal notaries have the responsibility to act on behalf of all parties. They also must follow strict rules for drafting documents and have the ability to authenticate any document at hand. By law Montreal notaries are also obliged to keep every record of every transaction in a protected environment.
What is the difference between a Latin Montreal notary and a public notary? Unlike the public notary, Latin Montreal notaries (also known as civil-law notary) are licensed practitioners who are highly trained to provide a full spectrum of legal services. Through out their entire education Montreal notaries receive the same education as advocates. A Montreal Notary must remain in the area of private law, in which they regulate the interactions among individuals. A student out of graduation must go through an apprenticeship under a practicing notary before he/she can practice on their own.
