Property Sale & Purchase

Signatures and documents certified for buying, selling or transferring property overseas.

Powers of Attorney for the Sale of Land and Property Abroad

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives someone permission to make decisions, or take action, on another person’s behalf.

With regards to the sale of land or property abroad, a Power of Attorney may need to be given to a solicitor based in the country where assets are being sold. In doing so, they are able to sign documents and push forward with the sale, allowing the sale to go ahead, remotely.

If you require the assistance of a Notary Public, regarding a Power of Attorney, contact John.

US Property Deeds

US Property Deeds must be notarised. If the person selling the property is outside of the United States, the deed needs to be authorised by a Notary Public in order for it to be valid.

If you require the assistance of a Notary Public regarding notarisation of US Property Deeds, contact John.

US Timeshare Affidavits

An affidavit, relating to US timeshares, must be signed by the individual or persons named in the document and also by a Notary Public, or other authorised person. Affidavits are often required when obtaining or disposing of a timeshare.

If you require the assistance of a Notary Public, regarding a US timeshare, contact John.

UK Land Registry Documents (ID1)

An ID1 form is used to confirm a person’s identity who is lodging an application to HM Land Registry, England, and is not represented by a solicitor.

Once Section A of the form is completed, an applicant must then have their identity verified by a Notary Public, or other authorised person.

If you require the assistance of a Notary Public, regarding an ID1 form for an application to HM Land Registry, contact John.

Assistance with legalisation (as part of an ongoing matter with us)

John has significant experience in notarising and arranging Apostille against documents for use in these countries, including countries not included that may require embassy or consular legalisation.
