Not very helpful or knowledgeable when it comes to transactions involving dower rights with one spouse being in California, US while the other is in Calgary. My husband and I had to take it ourselves to research and draft up a document that notaries in California will even consider putting their stamp on since Jordan Potiuk's only response was to travel elsewhere where notaries will sign the standard document. Only after I have personally gone down to Alberta Land Titles and inquired as to what was acceptable to them, drafted the document, had my husband get a California notary to notarize it (after 2 previous failed attempts with the document that J. Potiuk provided), did J Potiuk make any additional effort to confirm whether our notarized document was acceptable. He then advised after his conversation with the head of Alberta Land Titles, I would need to get a Fiat ($500 additional). If I wasn't pressed for time, I would have switched lawyers. In speaking to a friend later, he brought up the simple fact that I could have gone to any canadian embassy/consulate in a foreign country and they would have notarized it there. He was surprised that a lawyer didn't know that. read more
