Start with the record
When the record is scattered, the issue becomes harder to understand.
Titles, grants, surveys, notices, policies, correspondence and historical records are often held in different places. Important events may be buried across years of emails and government files. Cheq Yourself helps bring those materials into one traceable record so you can see what is known, what is missing and which questions should come next.
Retrieve the record
Identify where relevant records may be held and organize requests for available documents.
Build the chronology
Arrange events, communications and decisions into a dated sequence that is easier to examine.
Organize the evidence
Create a searchable, indexed file that can support personal understanding or later review by qualified professionals.

About Cheq Yourself
Evidence
before conclusion.
Cheq Yourself was created to help individuals make sense of complex, fragmented records. Our work begins with the source documents: what they say, how they connect, what remains missing and how the record can be organized more clearly.
We believe people are better equipped to ask meaningful questions and seek appropriate professional assistance when their documents, correspondence and timelines are already in order.

Your questions,
answered.
Still have a question?
Send an inquiry using the form below
Is Cheq Yourself a law firm?
No. Cheq Yourself provides research, record retrieval, chronology development, document organization and general evidence support. It does not provide legal representation.
Does the Crown Grant package guarantee that a law or bylaw does not apply?
No. The package investigates and organizes property-specific records. The legal effect of those records depends on their wording, history, the facts and applicable law.
Can Cheq Yourself tell me what legal action I should take?
Cheq Yourself can explain how the record has been organized and identify questions raised by the documents. Property-specific legal advice or representation must come from an appropriately qualified professional.
What records can you help organize?
Depending on the engagement, records may include Crown Grants, current titles, survey plans, legal descriptions, historical files, government correspondence, notices, policies, decisions and related public records.
Can you guarantee that all records will be found?
No. Record availability depends on the age of the matter, government and archival holdings, document quality and the information supplied by the client.
What should I do if I have an urgent deadline?
Contact an appropriately qualified professional immediately. Do not postpone urgent legal, regulatory, transactional or filing advice while waiting for a research package.
