ii. Meeting Appointment Preparations:
[If applicable, Landmark Law will email you the documents to print]

  1. Please bring originals of your previously e-mailed identification (2 valid IDs per person) to the video meeting for our inspection.
  2. If applicable, for the video meeting, you are only required to print one (1) copy of the attached documents for signing purposes. Please set your printer to enable the pages to “shrink to fit” to enable legal sized government documents to print out on letter size paper. Double-sided printing is fine.
  3. If applicable, please keep documents in separate piles for ease of reference during the meeting.
  4. If applicable, please let Landmark Law know the location (e.g. city, etc. - which City) you will be at for the remote meeting and signing.

    We have to update the jurat for your signing appointment (the subscribed memo near the end of signing documents, generally beside your signature, that shows the date and location of your sworn oath or affirmation).

  5. After you signed the documents during the video meeting, please scan over your signed documents.


iii. Review the following information on Steps Involved in Remote Meeting:

In anticipation of our meeting, please refer to the following information/steps to keep you informed of what is expected and the setup for the meeting:

Before the meeting:

  1. If applicable, please print all the relevant documents that require review and signing.
  2. Please prepare two pieces of ID [i.e. Driver's License, Passport, Credit Card; Health Card is not acceptable].
  3. Please plan ahead and prepare to attend the meeting at a secure and totally private space with adequate and good soundproofing.
  4. It is recommended that you prepare earphones/earbuds/headphones/headsets for use throughout the remote meeting - for clearer audio and somewhat added security.

During the meeting:

  1. First, we will ask for your consent to video recording for compliance purposes.
  2. We will ask you to present the two pieces of ID you prepared before the meeting by showing us the front and backside of these IDs. Please present them within the frame of the camera view for it to be captured.
  3. After this, we will ask you to present to us slowly a 360 degree view of the location you are at for the meeting and for signing by ensuring that it is of a totally private nature.
  4. If applicable, then you will be asked to present each page, one after another, of the relevant documents that require review and signing by holding them up to the camera to be captured. Please present them within the frame of the camera view for them to be captured.
  5. It is important to note that throughout the meeting we are not able to pause and allow interruptions from any 3rd parties, as this meeting is private.
  6. After these initial prep work before and during the meeting (Steps 1-5), our lawyers will proceed to go over all the relevant documents with you and answer any questions you may have.
  7. If applicable, lastly, when you proceed to sign the documents, we will ask you to adjust your laptop camera or phone camera and that it be positioned in a way that allows the capture of each document when you are signing it.
