What is a notary?
The profession of a Notary Public is different from that of a solicitor, although most of the Notaries in England and Wales are also solicitors. Most (but not all) of the functions of a Notary relate to personal or business transactions with a foreign element.
Most Notaries therefore undertake work for commercial organisations and individuals engaged in international business. The most popular reasons why you’ll need the service of a Notary Public at FDR include:
- Preparing and witnessing Powers of Attorney for use overseas to facilitate the purchase or sale of land and property abroad or to enable litigation to be prosecuted or defended in foreign jurisdiction.
- Providing documents to deal with the administration of the estates of people who were living abroad when they died or owned property abroad.
- Authenticating personal documents and information required for immigration or emigration purposes or when someone is applying to work abroad.
