Passport Guarantor Rules are Changing
As of October 1, 2007, the passport rules regarding guarantors are changing. Under the current rules, your guarantor must be on the list of 'approved' occupations such as a lawyer or doctor. However, once the rules change, any Canadian citizen with a valid passport will be able to act as your guarantor (i.e. no restrictions on occupation). This change will greatly simplify the application process for those who have recently moved and who do not know a guarantor on the approved list. For more information, see this page on the new guarantor rules. In addition, effective August 15, 2007, the application process for renewal of a passport will be simplified: see Passport Canada's Simplified Renewal Page for more information. |

Notary Services: Info & Fees |
|
WLO Vancouver provides a full range of notary services (however, please see the important exceptions noted at the bottom of this page). We provide notary services by virtue of the fact that we are practising lawyers fully qualified to practise law in British Columbia rather than the more limited status of being a notary.
We can provide notary services at one of our offices (Downtown or Gastown) or at your location in Vancouver using our "Flying Notary" service.
Our downtown/gastown office is located at 100 - 111 Water St. Appointments are required. Please call to arrange an appointment (604 868 1375) or send us an email. |

Welcome to Westside Law Office! |
|
Welcome to Westside Law Office or “WLO” for short. WLO is a neighbourhood law office located on the westside of beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. Our law practice is restricted to the field of estate and trust law including wills, powers of attorney, representation agreements (living wills), probate, estate administration, living trusts, alter ego trusts, asset protection trusts, and succession planning. As fully qualified lawyers, we also provide a full range of notary public services.
While we have plenty of experience in big, downtown law firms, you won’t find stuffy people or incomprehensible legalese at WLO. Instead, you’ll find smart, experienced and personable lawyers providing sensible straightforward advice.
You’ll also find reasonable hourly rates and flat rate billing for many simple matters. In addition, we use the latest document automation technology and the power of the internet to work more efficiently. That means we spend less time on paperwork and as a result, less time on your file which translates into a reduction in fees for you. |
