Notary Public
Notarial services for antenuptial contracts, authentications and more.
A Notary Public is an admitted attorney who has obtained an additional qualification and has been admitted by the High Court to draft, execute, attest and authenticate specific classes of legal documents. Certain transactions—including antenuptial contracts, notarial bonds, servitudes, cessions of real rights and notarial long leases—must be executed before a Notary Public or require notarial execution to create, register or protect particular legal rights. We ensure every document is correctly prepared, properly executed and, where required, lodged for registration. We also explain each document in clear, practical terms so you understand exactly what you are signing.
What we help with
Our Notarial Services
- Antenuptial contracts (ANCs) — with or without accrual
- Notarial bonds — general and special
- Notarial deeds of cession and servitudes
- Long leases requiring notarial execution
- Authentication and certification of documents for international use

Our approach
Notarial work demands precision. Every document must comply with strict legal and procedural requirements to be effective. We take the time to draft each document correctly, explain its legal implications in plain language, oversee its proper execution, and attend to registration where required. We prepare and register notarial documents in the Deeds Registry where registration is required, ensuring compliance with all applicable legal requirements.
Why use a Notary Public?
Certain legal documents require a Notary Public because the law attaches greater evidential value and authenticity to notarial acts. A properly executed notarial document is recognised both within South Africa and, in many cases, internationally, making it essential for property transactions, estate planning, business agreements and documents intended for use abroad. Whether you require an antenuptial contract before your wedding, a notarial bond for business financing, authentication of documents for overseas use, or any other notarial service, our experienced Notary Public can assist you efficiently and professionally.
