The notary must be able to determine with certainty that you are who you say you are. This is because of the actions performed at a notary, these have legal consequences for an individual. Therefore, your identity is always established and verified in advance. Therefore, always bring a valid proof of identity to the notary. This may be a passport, identity card or driver's license. If it is necessary for you to bring further documents, we will ask you for them in advance.

By signing a notarized power of attorney, you offer a person you trust, your partner and/or children, a good friend or us as a notary, the ability to perform legal acts on your behalf. you can indicate that you only want the power of attorney to take effect when you are no longer able to do so yourself, for example as a result of dementia or a stroke. The power of attorney can only be used if you are still alive, because if you die, your will (or the legal right of inheritance) will be executed.

A notarial deed is a document in which agreements and statements are legally recorded. A notarial deed is not legally valid until it has been passed before the notary. Simply put, we can also call a deed an official piece of evidence.

Drawing up a deed at the notary's office is always done in duplicate. Of these, one copy is intended for the party involved, and the other copy remains in the notary's custody and is archived.

Because of diverse interests, legally valid agreements must be made. A notary is needed when you need or want to officially record things. When drawing up a notarial deed, the notary takes into account all parties involved. The notary does this from an independent perspective. In some cases it is mandatory to record matters in a notarial deed. Some examples for which you are required to engage a notary:

• Drafting a will;
• Drafting a living will;
• Drawing up prenuptial agreements;
• Drafting a cohabitation contract;
• Estate planning;
• Deed of delivery;
• Granting a mortgage;
• Transfer of real estate (e.g. houses or business premises)
