Notary Public

A notary public is an officially appointed legal professional who drafts, certifies, and registers property transactions. In commercial real estate, the notary performs essential functions including:

• Title verification and examination of ownership records and mortgages
• Preparation of purchase deeds and transfer of ownership
• Collection and distribution of purchase price, loan payoff, and notarial fees
• Registration of the transaction with the land registry

The notary ensures all parties have given informed consent and that the transaction is legally binding and documented. For complex commercial deals, the notary also conducts due diligence and provides legal counsel on property-related matters.
