In a territory where the judge arrives by plane, prevention is worth a great deal more than cure. A Nunavut loan agreement settles the terms of a family or friend loan up front — signed by both of you from your phones, no travel required.
A lawyer typically charges $450+. LendRight is free to draft; a one-time $29 finalisation fee applies only when the agreement is sent for signing — the person creating it chooses who pays.
Nunavut’s justice system is unlike anywhere else in Canada: since 1999 the Nunavut Court of Justice has been the country’s only unified, single-level trial court, hearing everything from small claims (up to roughly $20,000) to the most serious matters — much of it via fly-in circuit court across 25 communities.
Practically, that means enforcement is slow and far away by design of geography. The smartest move a lender can make here isn’t planning for court — it’s making court unnecessary. A clear, signed agreement does that: both people see the same terms, the same dates, the same consequences, before a dollar moves.
No printers, no couriers, no waiting for someone’s next trip to Iqaluit. You answer plain-language questions, the agreement takes shape as you type, and the borrower receives a secure signing link on their phone. Two e-signatures later, you each hold a locked PDF with a certificate recording exactly who signed and when — recognized for ordinary contracts in Nunavut as across Canada.
Draft the whole thing free, edit until it’s right.
One fee, no subscription. One $29 fee — the person creating it chooses who pays — certifies the document and gathers both e-signatures.
Given how few practising lawyers serve the territory’s civil work, a purpose-built self-help document is frequently the only realistic option for an ordinary personal loan — and here it’s also the affordable one.
Free to draft. Both sign on your phones. Done in minutes.

No. A properly signed agreement is just as binding whether the parties are in Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet, or Ottawa. E-signatures are recognized for ordinary contracts, and each LendRight agreement carries a tamper-evident signing certificate.
The essentials: both parties (each 19 or older, Nunavut's age of majority), the amount, the repayment schedule, any interest under the 35% APR federal cap, and both signatures. The builder collects all of it through plain questions.
The person creating the agreement chooses whether they or the other party pays. Either way it's a one-time $29, charged only when the agreement is sent for signing — not a subscription.
