Do I need a notary public?

If you need a document authenticating or legalising for use abroad, you will require a notary public.

A notary public is an internationally recognised qualified lawyer. Notaries often also practise as solicitors – our notary public William Armstrong is also a solicitor in our Personal Injury team.

You may need a notary public if you are:

• Marrying abroad
• Buying or selling a house or commercial property in another country
• Involved in an international transaction
• Exporting goods (as a business)
• Dealing with the will or probate for a family member who has died abroad and/or has property in another country
• Appointing someone who lives abroad with Power of Attorney to deal with your affairs
• Registering a patent or trademark internationally

Our notary public can offer a range of services to meet your individual needs. For more information or for a confidential discussion, please call 0113 232 1030 or email will.armstrong@emsleys.co.uk.
