NOTARIAL SERVICES
At Sabeehah Ebrahim Inc., we provide secure, meticulous handling for all your documents, ensuring they are executed with the utmost diligence and legal authority by our Notary Public.
We draw and attest contracts, witness signatures, and authenticate the validity of crucial documents, maintaining an esteemed position in the legal profession.
Notarial Deeds
Certain legal documents, known as Notarial Deeds, must be drafted, signed, and witnessed by a Notary Public to be legally valid. We ensure these documents are properly executed and safely recorded in our Notarial Protocol and Register.
We assist with the drafting and execution of essential Notarial Deeds, including:
- Ante- and Postnuptial Contracts: Governing marital property regimes.
- Deeds of Servitude: Registering rights over property (e.g., right of way).
- Notarial Bonds: Registering a bond over movable assets.
- Deeds of Cession of Usufruct and Notarial Leases.
Apostille & Authentication
If you need to use a South African document overseas, we provide the essential legalisation services required to validate it for international use.
This process involves attestation, notarisation, and certification, depending on the destination country:
Destination Country | Certification Required | Process |
Hague Convention Signatories | Apostille Certificate | As South Africa is a signatory to The Hague Convention, we prepare documents for the issuance of an Apostille Certificate, which is internationally recognized. |
Non-Hague Convention Countries | Certificate of Authentication | For countries not party to The Hague Convention, we prepare documents for the Certificate of Authentication process via the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO). |
These certifications are critical for validating documents such as Powers of Attorney, Affidavits, and Contracts for use in foreign jurisdictions.
Our Notarial department offers a reliable, professional, and specialised service. We ensure all your documents are drafted, authenticated, and executed to the highest legal standards.
