Description
This project focuses on the development of a platform which will enable online notarizations, commissioning and witnessing of legal documents as well as the provision of legal advice. This platform will allow Canadians to obtain high-demand but often unaffordable legal services such as separations, divorces, wills, notaries and probate much more affordably, including in rural areas where legal services can be in short supply, paving the way for greater access to justice.
Description (French)
Ce projet est axé sur la mise en place d'une plateforme qui permettra de procéder à des notarisations en ligne, de commander et de témoigner de documents juridiques ainsi que de fournir des conseils juridiques. Cette plateforme permettra aux Canadiens d'obtenir des services juridiques très demandés, mais souvent inabordables tels que les séparations, les divorces, les testaments, l'accès à des notaires et à des services d'homologation à un prix beaucoup plus abordable, y compris dans les zones rurales où les services juridiques peuvent être rares, ouvrant ainsi la voie à un meilleur accès à la justice.
