# 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.

## Which tool for which need?

| Need | Tool |
| --- | --- |
| Trust accounting | ParaMaître |
| Minute register and act safekeeping | ParaMaître |
| Practice management and billing | ParaMaître |
| Checking a draft act, with cited findings | NotarIA |
| Reconstructing a chain of title and reading a location certificate | NotarIA |

## In short

Keep ParaMaître to run the practice; add NotarIA to check, cite and document. One keeps your books and minutes, the other secures every act before signature — with no overlap between the two.

## 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.
