NotarIA and ParaMaître: complements, not competitors.
ParaMaître (Avancie) is the established management suite of Québec notary practices: trust accounting, minute register, act production. NotarIA adds an AI layer on top — cited compliance, title examination, monitoring — without replacing your management.
What ParaMaître covers: the management backbone
A management suite runs the practice day to day. It is a backbone, not compliance AI.
Trust accounting
Keeping the trust accounts at the core of a practice's professional obligations.
Minute register
The recording and safekeeping of notarial acts — the practice's memory.
Act production
Preparing and issuing acts, day in and day out.
Practice management
Client files, billing and day-to-day administration.
What NotarIA adds
NotarIA is the AI layer a management suite lacks: it checks, cites and monitors.
The compliance copilot
Every draft act compared to Québec law; cited, graded findings and a dated pre-signature report.
Title examination
Chain of title per property and location certificate, with deterministic safety nets.
Cited research
74 legal sources (Civil Code of Québec, LégisQuébec, Justice Canada, CanLII); every answer links to its source.
Legal monitoring
An alert when a source cited by your open files changes.

Frequently asked questions
Can NotarIA and ParaMaître coexist?
Yes — that is the intended setup. ParaMaître stays your management backbone; NotarIA runs alongside for compliance, title examination and cited research. Each in its role.
Does NotarIA do trust accounting?
No. Trust accounting and the minute register belong to your management suite. NotarIA focuses on act compliance, title examination and cited research.
Do we have to re-enter our files to adopt NotarIA?
No. NotarIA can import your existing files — documents and data — including from a suite like ParaMaître, to avoid double entry. The Enterprise plan includes assisted migration.
