Will and POA Virtual "live" Signing The virtual Will & Power of Attorney signing process is essentially the same as the online notarization process with the exception that the testator, witnesses and notary will all physically sign the documents using what is known as a "wet ink" signature instead of an e-signature. Wet Ink Signature refers to a signature that is created on paper using a physical writing tool such as a pen. Signing in counterpart means that duplicate contracts or documents are printed so that there is a separate copy for each party to sign at the same time. The Process (1) Once your appointment is booked, you will receive a confirmation email. (2) Reply to the confirmation email with your I.D. and document(s) attached. (3) On the day of your appointment, use the link that was shared with you in the confirmation email to join the video conference. All signing parties must be present. (4) The Testator (the owner of the Will) and the witnesses will physically sign a printed copy of the Will and/ or Power of Attorney. (5) The notary will also physically sign and seal a copy of the Will and/ or Power of Attorney. (6) The notary will then mail their copy to you. Once both signed copies are together this constitutes a legally binding document; signed in separate counterparts. (7) You must then store your Will & POA in a safe and secure area and notify your Executor of its location. Do not attempt to make any corrections or changes to either copy of the Will after it has already been notarized as this will make it null and void. If you need to make changes, corrections or updates, then you must create a new Will or Power of Attorney. If you have questions, feel free to contact us by email at info@notarialservicescanada.ca
