Whether you’re looking to emigrate, set up a business, get married or buy property overseas, the process will inevitably require a number of legal documents to be “notarised” – that is to say, drafted, checked and certified by an appointed professional. This is primary the role of a Notary Public, a qualified lawyer appointed to prepare and validate documents in line with the laws of a foreign jurisdiction.
Recognised internationally, a Notary Public is essential for anyone carrying out business or personal matters abroad. Although most Notaries are qualified solicitors, a Notary does not perform the same function as a solicitor. Notaries are primarily concerned with the preparation, authentication and certification of documents for use abroad.
Bringing expertise, efficiency and a keen eye for detail, Stephen Gisby delivers a highly personalised and reliable notarial service to a diverse client-base in Bristol and the surrounding areas. At every stage in the process, you can expect to receive more than a document-signing service: instead, your will be situation carefully analysed and your interests will be prioritised to enable us to provide advice that best suits your requirements.
