An Executor’s Certificate of Appointment is a notarial document confirming that an individual has been legally authorized by the court to act as executor of an estate. The notary public verifies the court order or probate grant, confirms the identity of the appointed executor using government-issued photo identification, and applies the official seal and signature to certify the document’s validity. Once notarized, the certificate is accepted by financial institutions, land registry offices, and other entities for the administration and transfer of estate assets.

ESTATE ADMINISTRATION DOCUMENTS
Estate administration documents, including probate affidavits and related court filings, serve to establish an executor’s or estate administrator’s authority and outline the decedent’s assets and liabilities. During notarization, the notary public verifies the accuracy and completeness of the affidavits, confirms signer identities with government-issued photo identification, administers any required oath or affirmation, and affixes the official seal and signature. These notarized documents are recognized by provincial courts, financial institutions, and land registry offices for the proper administration and distribution of estate assets.

BANKRUPTCY & INSOLVENCY DOCUMENTS
Bankruptcy and insolvency documents—such as assignments in bankruptcy, consumer proposals, and receivership notices—require notarization to confirm their authenticity and proper execution under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada). During the notarization process, the notary public verifies the identities of the debtor and any trustees or representatives using government-issued photo identification, reviews the completeness of each form and accompanying schedules, and administers any required oath or affirmation. The official seal and signature are then affixed to certify that all procedural requirements have been met. Notarized insolvency documents are subsequently accepted by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy, financial institutions, and other regulatory bodies.

SURETY & GUARANTEE AGREEMENTS
Surety and guarantee agreements establish a legal commitment by a surety or guarantor to assume responsibility for another party’s obligations in the event of default. In Saskatchewan, these agreements require notarization to verify the authenticity of signatures and ensure enforceability under provincial contract law. During the notarization process, the notary public confirms the identities of the guarantor, creditor, and principal debtor using government-issued photo identification, reviews the document for completeness and proper signature blocks, and administers any required oath or affirmation. The official seal and signature are then applied to certify the validity of the agreement. Notarized surety and guarantee agreements are recognized by financial institutions, courts, and other legal entities throughout Saskatchewan.
