notarial acts

Notarial acts are official actions performed by a notary public, a licensed professional authorized to witness signatures, authenticate documents, and administer oaths. When a notary verifies a person’s identity and ensures they understand what they’re signing, they help prevent fraud and ensure the legal validity of documents. Common notarial acts include certifying copies, witnessing wills, and acknowledging the signing of contracts. Notaries play a crucial role in legal and financial transactions by providing assurance that documents are genuine and properly executed.
