The COOP was founded by 8 notary offices located across Quebec. It offers a uniform solution to Desjardins for mortgage refinancing.
The main advantage is that the COOP belongs to all member notaries. Each member has one vote at the AGM to elect the Board of Directors, and appoint the Auditor. Members also vote to adopt new regulations or modify them. In addition, a cooperative met the values and vision of the Desjardins movement.
The COOP was founded by notaries just like you. All files processed through the Coop are managed by notaries. All members of the COOP are therefore the owners.
Yes, the caisse tells us the name of the member’s notary and we make sure to send him the file.
If the member does not have a notary, the COOP relies on its list of member notaries and sends it according to the postal code on file, randomly, according to the closest availability of notaries.
If the client chooses to sign remotely, we will choose according to the availability of notaries who sign remotely first.
