COVID and Conveyancing – How lawyers are handling things

We just heard this great news from Tony Spagnuolo, Spagnuolo Law. Things are rapidly changing. We feel fortunate that things are changing for the positive and allowing us to continue to serve our clients and put their needs first. We strongly advise you to use a lawyer during this uncertain and unprecedented time.

From Tony:

What is better than a law firm with 18 offices?  Well, one with 19 of course!!

And that 19th office can be the client’s house.  We can now meet clients through video technology to have documents witnessed for their purchase, sale or mortgage. Couple of keys points though:

1.      Not all lenders allow for this just yet, so you need to check with the clients lender to ensure they allow for remote signing;

2.      Clients should be able to print documents, meet with us on Zoom, sign in front of the screen, and then return the documents to us (scan and email, or dropped off to our Coquitlam office).

There are a couple of other little things, but for now we know that we can in certain situations meet clients remotely, eliminating the need for them to visit one of our 18 offices.

This also means we can help your clients anywhere in the Province, not just those towns where we are physically located.
