Notary Public

A Notary Public is an experienced lawyer appointed by the Supreme Court of South Australia to perform Notarial acts.

Those acts are then accepted by Courts, Governments and other authorities throughout the world as valid. Notaries greatly assist the flow of commercial transactions in a global environment.

Notarial acts include the certification and witnessing of:

  • Powers of attorney;
  • Company documents;
  • Affidavits and declarations necessary for deceased estates administration;
  • Real Estate transactions;
  • Banking documents; and
  • Maritime documents.

Our Alf Macolino and Julie-Ann Sparkes are Notaries Public, who will only commence work after briefly reviewing the documents and providing you with a fee estimate, and you agree to that estimate.
