About Christine Duncan
Buying a house, signing a will, or giving someone power of attorney all end the same way, with documents that have to be drawn and witnessed properly. Christine Duncan works from 485 Main St, in the downtown core of Penticton, a few blocks back from the Okanagan Lake shoreline.
In British Columbia the line between a lawyer and a notary public matters, and it is the first thing to settle on the phone. Notaries handle conveyancing, wills, statutory declarations and the notarization of documents. Lawyers do all of that as well, and also act where a dispute has to be argued, an estate contested, or a matter taken in front of a court. Knowing which side of that line your problem falls on saves an appointment.
Bring more than you think you need to a first meeting: identification, anything already signed, and the names and dates the file turns on. Appointments here also serve people driving in from Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos and the smaller places around them, so the calendar can fill further out than the size of the city would suggest. Ask what a straightforward file involves and how long it usually takes before you commit to a date, particularly if a closing has already been set.

Where to shop in Penticton: small, walkable and mostly local
Penticton's shopping is smaller than Kelowna's and more its own thing: a Main Street of independents, specialty food shops that outclass their size, and Cherry Lane covering the mall tier.
