Notary Public

What is a Notary Public?

A notary public is a public officer constituted by law to serve the public in non-contentious matters usually concerned with estates, deeds, powers of attorney and foreign and international business. They can place a person on oath or undertake notarial executions. Whilst notaries in Scotland are always solicitors not all solicitors are a notary public. Often people require a Notary to certify documents required in foreign jurisdictions and Mr Lunny has the necessary seal to undertake this work.
