The paperwork involved can be complicated, translations may be required, and you may think that you have to visit the foreign country to get it all done. However, Vancouver Apostille can help you deal with all the paperwork at our office in Vancouver, without ever having to leave Vancouver. That way, you won't have to spend money and time travelling overseas to sign a few property conveyance papers. Once you receive the necessary documents from your foreign notary or lawyer, or escrow company, simply visit our office to sign everything. We will then notarize the paperwork, and get the necessary apostille certification to make sure that it becomes valid overseas - we take care of everything on your behalf.

When your are selling a property overseas, it can be just as complicated as when you are the buyer.

Signing Conveyance Documents, and Powers of Attorney

Whether you need to sign conveyance documents, or a Power of Attorney, we can help. A Power of Attorney allows you to appoint a local representative to act on your behalf to sign your real estate documents in the foreign jurisdiction. Assuming you have a notary or lawyer in the foreign country, they should have already provided you with the POA ready for execution. We often work with your foreign notary, lawyer or escrow agent to make sure that your conveyance documentation and Power of Attorney will be valid in the foreign country via the apostille process. As with any document being sent overseas, we meet with you for the signing, and we take are of the international notarization and apostille process to make it all valid in the recipient country.
