FAQ — Common questions
Do you handle commercial real estate or corporate work?
Our practice is primarily focused on residential real estate, wills, mandates, and estate liquidation for individuals and families. While we may assist with select commercial matters, we recommend contacting our office directly to discuss your specific needs.
What is the difference between a notary and a lawyer?
In Québec, a notary (notaire) is a legal professional who drafts and authenticates official legal documents. Unlike lawyers who represent parties in disputes, notaries act as neutral legal advisors who ensure that transactions — such as real estate purchases, wills, and mandates — are legally sound and binding for all parties.
How long does a real estate closing typically take?
A standard residential real estate closing typically takes between 45 to 90 minutes at our office. The timeline depends on the complexity of the transaction, mortgage requirements, and the preparation of all required documents. We coordinate with your lender and the other party’s notary to ensure a smooth process.
What is a protection mandate and do I need one?
A protection mandate (mandat de protection) is a legal document that designates someone you trust to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated. Without one, a court process would be required to appoint someone to act on your behalf — which can be lengthy and costly. We strongly recommend this document for all adults, regardless of age.
Are your legal services available in both English and French?
Yes, our office is fully bilingual. We serve clients in both English and French with equal proficiency, reflecting the bilingual nature of the West Island community we are proud to serve.
