Legal affairs often cross borders.
From property purchases abroad to cross-border business transactions, many documents need to be formally recognised outside the UK. That is where notarial services come in.
A notary public is a specialist lawyer authorised to verify, certify, and authenticate documents for use overseas. At Lewis Nedas, our notarial practice, with Solicitor and Notary Public Wilson (Will) Soares, helps both businesses and private individuals navigate this process smoothly and efficiently.
If you need reliable notarial services for business or personal matters, contact Lewis Nedas today on 020 7387 2032 or complete our online enquiry form to arrange an appointment.
Why you need notarial services
- International recognition: A notary’s seal and signature are recognised worldwide, making documents legally valid in other jurisdictions.
- Business transactions: Powers of attorney, company resolutions, and commercial contracts often need notarisation before they can be used abroad.
- Private matters: From property purchases in Europe to overseas inheritance paperwork, notarisation ensures documents are accepted without delay.
- Legalisation and Apostilles: We arrange Apostilles from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and liaise with foreign consulates where required.
Examples of when you may need a notary
- Buying or selling property overseas.
- Sending powers of attorney for use in another country.
- Certifying academic or professional qualifications to work abroad.
- Dealing with inheritances, estates, or bank accounts outside the UK.
- Preparing documents for international litigation or arbitration.
- Authenticating company papers for international business deals.
