Services

A Notary prepares, witnesses or certifies documents going abroad. Often a document will have been prepared by a foreign lawyer. They include powers of attorney, sworn statements, contracts, property papers and certificates of law. Documents which are handled by a Notary are referred to as“notarial acts”. These may be in public or private form – the latter largely confined to witnessing signatures. An act in public form is required where a Notary confirms facts which he or she has verified personally. Notaries must verify for each client their identity, legal capacity and understanding of the document as well as their authority if signing on behalf of another party such as a limited company. As qualified lawyers, Notaries may also carry out all other types of legal work apart from litigation (court work). This is similar to the position of continental Notaries who operate under the civil law system. Accordingly, Notaries here may handle property transactions, make wills and administer the estates of someone who has died.
