Nikolay Eskin Notary Public

What Nikolay Eskin Notary Public does

Nikolay Eskin Notary Public is a sole-proprietorship notarial practice operating under the legal name Eskin Notarial Corporation (also trading as Mt. Pleasant Notary / Mount Pleasant Notary) from Suite 201, 223 West Broadway in Vancouver, British Columbia. Founded in May 2012, the firm is run by a single commissioned BC Notary Public, Nikolay Eskin, who holds a Master of Arts in Applied Legal Studies from Simon Fraser University and brings prior experience as a Vancouver Realtor (nine years) and a licensed immigration consultant.

The practice offers fee-for-service notarial work across three product groups: Real Estate (title transfers, mortgages, protection of client interests through closing), Estate Planning (wills, powers of attorney, representation agreements, post-death administration guidance), and Other Notary Services (statutory declarations, letters of invitation, affidavits, contracts, and lease agreements). The underlying technology is conventional: paper-based document execution complemented by electronic registration through the Land Title and Survey Authority of B.C. There is no proprietary software, API, or mobile app; service delivery is in-person, with an add-on mobile offering of home and hospital visits.

Revenue is generated on a pay-as-you-go, quote-based model with fees set per service type (pricing is not publicly disclosed). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the mtpleasantnotary.ca website — including dedicated Russian and German language pages — supported by an Eventbrite promotional presence. The primary customer segment is individual residents of Vancouver requiring personal legal document execution, with the practitioner differentiating on trilingual service (English, Russian, German), flexible hours, mobile visits, and the personal brand of the sole notary. Membership in the BC Society of Notaries Public provides the regulatory and professional grounding for the scrivener-tradition scope of BC notary practice.

Broad incumbents

• LawDepot: Canadian online legal document service providing templates for wills, real estate, and other personal legal matters.

• DocuSign: Digital signature and agreement cloud platform serving enterprises and consumers for electronic document execution. Comparable to Nikolay Eskin because both facilitate document authentication and completion, though DocuSign focuses on digital signatures at enterprise scale while the firm focuses on in-person notarization.
• Stewart Information Services: Title insurance and real estate services company providing escrow and closing coordination across North America. Comparable to Nikolay Eskin because both facilitate real estate transactions through title and closing coordination, though Stewart operates at significantly larger scale through institutional channels.

• McMillan LLP: Canadian business law firm with offices in Vancouver and other major cities, offering real estate, estate planning, and corporate legal services.

Emerging players

• Notarize: Online remote notarization platform serving US consumers and businesses. Directly competes with Nikolay Eskin's traditional in-person notary offering by enabling digital document execution, representing a tech-enabled emerging alternative to the sole-proprietor in-person model.
• NotaryCam: Remote online notarization platform serving real estate, legal, and financial services. Comparable to Nikolay Eskin because it provides the same notarization and identity verification services through a digital channel, threatening the traditional mobile and in-person notary trip.
• DocVerify: Electronic notarization and digital signature platform offering remote online notarization. Overlaps with Nikolay Eskin's notarization and document authentication services but delivers them through a digital-first model that competes for the same end customers.
