COMMISSIONER of OATH Services - Evenings at your Home
To schedule an evening commissioner of oath appointment, email our law firm at Chris@NeufeldLegal.com for availability.
Service available for North Calgary, Southwest Calgary (above 17th Ave SW), and Bearspaw.
In speaking with many busy Calgarians, we've learned how difficult it can be to get documents commissioned, as your own work and personal schedule typically makes it extremely challenging to schedule, let alone find, a lawyer or other authorized person to commission your legal papers (i.e., statutory declarations), while many legal professionals have already committed their primary work hours to existing legal work, such that fitting in the unscheduled commissioning of documents is difficult to justify (given that all too frequently, the paperwork that individuals believe merely need to be commissioned by a commissioner of oaths, actually requires the provision of independent legal advice, which can take significant additional time and represents added cost, as there are many documents that cannot be simply signed and commissioned by a lawyer / commissioner of oaths).
To address the difficulty in addressing the need for commissioner of oath services in Calgary, where our own daily schedule makes it difficult to fit in commissioning during the course of the regular workday, we have taken to providing pre-scheduled commissioner of oath services in the evenings in North Calgary (together with Bearspaw and SW Calgary north of 17th Ave SW), where we come to your home to complete the document commissioned at a pre-scheduled time that works for both yourself and myself. We also require that all documents that are required to be commissioned are emailed to our law firm in advance (together with your location), such that we might confirm in advance if independent legal advice or other special actions are required for purposes of completing the legal paperwork, and to confirm the actual costs.
If you require a single commissioning for one document, (1) with no independent legal advice or special actions or circumstances being required, (2) your anticipated cost would be as follows:
$125.00 (plus applicable disbursements and taxes) |
If located in North Calgary (west of Deerfoot Avenue) or Bearspaw |
$195.00 (plus applicable disbursements and taxes) |
If located in North Calgary (east of Deerfoot Avenue) or Southwest Calgary (north of 17th Avenue SW) |
(1) If there are no conflicts of interest or other legal impediments, our cost includes commissioning the same form of legal document for your spouse or commissioning an additional one to four legal documents of the same form at the scheduled meeting; however, we require that you confer with us in advance, given that there can be legal impediments to providing certain legal documents to additional persons in certain circumstances.
(2) If independent legal advice or special actions or circumstances are involved, we will look to provide you with the intended cost of our legal services in advance, such that you make an appropriate determination prior to our travelling out to meet with you and complete the agreed upon paperwork (i.e., the completion of a Guarantees Acknowledgment Act Certificate in furtherance of a personal guarantee by statute requires that independent legal advice is provided, this is explicitly set out in the statute, such that this document cannot be simply commissioned but requires engagement of the lawyer for that specific purpose). Our evening appointments include completing Proof of Life forms.
To schedule an appointment, please contact our law firm to attain our current availability for an evening mobile commissioner of oaths session, by emailing our law firm in strict confidence at Chris@NeufeldLegal.com with your contact information (including home address), preferred times and PDFs of the legal documents to be commissioned (redacting any sensitive or confidential information), such that we might coordinate the actual meeting time and provide you with the intended cost of our commissioner of oath services.
