The Notary- independent advisor   

Notaries are independent and impartial advisors for all important areas of law. As a notary, I make sure that the interests of all parties are represented, but in cooperation with, instead of against each other. I do this through clarification of the facts and advising the parties concerned as to their next steps.


Years of experience is needed in order to bring the wishes of clients to fruition and in the right way.

The notary finds solutions that last and that function in practice.

As a civil servant, it is also the duty of the notary to work for the state. The notary puts together certificates, creates titles enforceable by law and verifies signatures. A document given by a notary can spare a court case. This avoids costs, irritation and time. Should it nevertheless come to a dispute, the notary can function as a mediator, in order to find a mutual and sensible solution to the problem.

The notaries see themselves as competent law advisors and modern service providers. The notary is the neutral point of intersection between companies and authorities, between citizens and state. The notary creates a legal safety net for  the most important things in life.
