NOTARY OR COMMISSIONER? What’s the difference?

It’s a question I get fairly often, and the answer can depend on what your document is being used for.

Some documents need to be commissioned, some need to be notarized, and others may require a certified true copy.

Before booking an appointment, it’s always a good idea to check with the organization requesting the document so you know exactly what they require.

Not sure what you need? I’m happy to help point you in the right direction.

What actually happens during a legal consultation?

I get asked this quite a bit, especially by people who have never worked with a paralegal before.

My consultations are done over the phone, and honestly, it’s pretty simple - I want to hear what’s going on.

Tell me what happened, what’s been happening, and what has brought you to the point of making the call. I’ll ask questions along the way so I can understand the situation and figure out how I may be able to help.

Some of the things I’ll ask about are important dates, how long the situation has been going on, what documentation or proof you have, whether you’ve tried to resolve things already, and whether there are any upcoming hearings or deadlines.

And please don’t worry about having the “right” answers or knowing what information matters legally. That’s my job.

Most importantly, there’s no judgement here. Legal problems can be stressful, frustrating and sometimes uncomfortable to talk about. You can tell me what’s going on, as it is, and we’ll go from there.

Sometimes the first step is simply having someone listen.

If you’re dealing with a legal issue and aren’t sure where to start, let’s talk.

A flooded rental unit can create stress for both landlords and tenants.

Landlords are generally expected to respond promptly, arrange necessary repairs, and ensure the rental unit is safe and habitable.

Tenants should also remember that tenant insurance matters. A landlord is not automatically responsible for damage to a tenant’s personal belongings, which is why having insurance can be so important.

Every flooding situation is different, and the rights and obligations of each party depend on the specific facts.

If a child under the age of 18 is travelling without one or both parents or legal guardians, a travel consent letter may be requested by border officials or airlines.

While it isn’t legally required in every situation, having one can help avoid delays and questions when crossing borders.

Common situations include:
✔️ One parent travelling alone with a child
✔️ A child travelling with grandparents
✔️ School or sports trips
✔️ Visiting family or friends
✔️ A child travelling with another relative or family friend

As a Notary Public, I can notarize your travel consent letter so you’re prepared before your trip.

Planning a getaway? Book your appointment early and travel with confidence.

The Landlord and Tenant Board has announced that final LTB orders will now be more accessible to the public.

Here’s what you should know:

✔️ Effective July 24, 2026, the LTB has started publishing final orders issued between January 2026 and May 2026 on the Ontario government’s Open Data Catalogue.

✔️ Historical orders dating back to 2021 will be added in phases over time.

✔️ Going forward, new final orders will be published monthly, making LTB decisions easier for the public to access.

✔️ Orders that have been granted confidentiality will not be published.

This is an important change for both landlords and tenants. If you’re involved in an LTB matter, it’s important to understand how these changes may affect you.

If you need assistance with a Landlord and Tenant Board matter, I’m here to help.

A great day at the Paralegal Town Hall Conference in Collingwood! ⚖️

It was so nice reconnecting with paralegals I’ve met along the way, finally putting faces to some familiar names, and making new connections too.

Between the learning and networking, there were lots of laughs, some interesting conversations, and plenty of stories shared.

It’s always nice to connect with others who understand the profession and the experiences that come along with it.
