Understanding the Role of Notaries in the UK

In the UK, notaries play a crucial role in verifying and authenticating documents for use abroad. Many people mistakenly think a notary's role is the same as a lawyer’s, but there are important differences. While both professionals may handle legal documentation, a notary specifically authenticates documents like property deeds, powers of attorney, and certificates for international use. This authentication can be critical for businesses expanding internationally or individuals managing affairs overseas. At Lawton & Associates, we can help you determine if a notary is needed for your situation and connect you with a trusted notary to meet your requirements.
