Notaries Public

Our Senior Partner, Martin Smith, based at our Gillingham office and Sandra Tadhunter (Partner) based at our Rochester office are both Notaries Public.

A Notary is the holder of a Public Office whose duty it is to substantiate or create evidence of a member of the public’s activities. Notaries originated as scribes who took notes or minutes of important events and decisions and recorded them as public or private documents.

Once a document is notarised it should then be valid for the relevant country in which it is intended to be used subject to being Apostilled or legalised in accordance with the Hague Convention. It is often s requirement that contracts and deeds for the purchase of properties abroad should be notarised.

In addition Notaries are empowered to draft documentation as well as execute the same for use abroad.

We can help with:
Attesting the Execution and Signature of Documents, Authenicating the Execution of Documents, Administering Oaths and Declarations, Dealing with Mercantile Contracts, Deeds, Agreements and Wills for use throughout the World, Preparing Powers of Attorney, Arranging Translations from Foreign Languages into English and Vice Versa, Taking Evidence in England and Wales as a Commissioner for Foreign Courts.
