Our NOTARY Services
At S Verster Attorneys, we offer comprehensive notary services to meet your legal document needs. Our team of experienced notaries is dedicated to providing efficient, reliable, and professional services tailored to your specific requirements.
What is a Notary
A Notary Public is a specialised attorney duly admitted and authorised to prepare, attest, and authenticate specific legal documentation, including those intended for international use. Moreover, the Deeds Registries Act and the Sectional Titles Act mandate that certain documents must be drafted and attested by a qualified notary.
What are Notarial Services
Notarial services involve the authentication and certification of documents by a qualified notary public. These services are essential for ensuring the validity and legality of various legal documents, including affidavits, powers of attorney, contracts, and more.
Our Notary Services Include
- Power of Attorney
- Authentication of Documents
- Ante-Nuptial Contracts
Power of attorney
A power of attorney is a legal document through which a principal delegates authority to another individual (the agent) to perform specific tasks on their behalf or to manage their affairs generally. Our offices provide assistance in drafting and executing such documents. Some examples of actions that an agent can undertake under a properly signed power of attorney include:
- Signature of an Ante-Nuptial contract on behalf of spouses to a marriage.
- Signature of a contract of sale for the purchase of a business on behalf of a seller or purchaser.
- Signature of a notarial bond on behalf of the mortgagor to be registered over movable their property.
- Signature of various types of bi-lateral notarial deeds on behalf of one or both of the parties to the deed.
Authentication of Documents
Many countries mandate that legal documents originating from foreign jurisdictions must undergo certification and authentication before they are legally recognized. If you plan to utilize South African documents abroad (such as your Identity Document, Marriage Certificate, or Degree Certificates), our office is equipped to assist you with the authentication process for such documentation.
