Financial Advisors FAQs

The member can choose the notary of his choice. If the notary is not part of the COOP, we will provide him with all the information necessary to join. On the other hand, very few members want a notary in particular. They are much more influenced in his choice by the advisor at the caisse.

We will first contact the client to suggest a notary who is a member of the COOP.  If the client still wants his notary, and he does not want to join the COOP, we will contact the caisse to transfer the file.

Indicate the “Coopérative de notaires du Québec” as the choice of notary in AFH. If the client member wants a specific notary, put the name of the notary in the “MEMBER’S NOTARY” section. The COOP will contact the notary to invite him to join if he is not yet a member.

When the disbursement is requested, the COOP will email the caisse a payment request (invoice) for its fees and disbursements.
