Commissioning of Affidavits
Have you been told you need to “swear an affidavit” and don’t really know what this means? Don’t worry, we can probably help you.
An affidavit is a legal document where someone (whom lawyers like to refer to as the affiant or the deponent) makes a series of statements and then swears that these statements are true. Affidavits are often used in court as part of the legal proceedings, but they can be used in other situations as well. Perhaps you want to get married in another country, you might have to provide the authorities in that country with evidence (probably through an affidavit) that you have never been married before (or that you are legally divorced) before the other country will issue you a marriage licence.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_column_text]The most important thing to remember about affidavits is that everything you say in your affidavit must be true. You are making statements about what you know, not what you think. You are setting out facts, not theories. You can make a statement about what you reasonably believe to be true, but if you do, you have to be clear that you are expressing a belief and not making a statement of fact.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Certifying copies
It often becomes necessary to obtain and use copies of a document rather than use 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.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is a written authorization which grants power to another person to make decisions on your behalf. It is in effect while you are still alive, unlike a will, which only takes effect upon your death.
There are three kinds of Power of Attorney in Ontario, which cover two areas; Property and Personal Care.

Power of Attorney for Property
- A Continuing Power of Attorney for Property covers your financial affairs and allows the person you name to act for you in all circumstances, including where you are mentally incapable.
- A Non-Continuing Power of Attorney for Property covers your financial affairs but can’t be used if you become mentally incapable. People often use this when they will be away from their home country for a long time and need another person to handle their affairs.
Why do I need to name a Power of Attorney ?
If you don’t make a Power of Attorney while you are capable of doing so and subsequently become unable to manage your own affairs, a family member has the right to apply to make your health care decisions or become your “guardian” of property. This might not be the person you would have wanted, and the process may be long, complicated and expensive. Where no family member or friend is able and willing to act for you, the government will act to appoint a suitable person.
Creating Power of Attorney documents with us is effective and inexpensive. You will have a full consultation with one of our lawyer’s, during which you will be able to ask questions and receive comprehensive advice.
Power of Attorney is a serious matter which we do not take lightly; we ensure that it is the right decision for you.
