Notary Public

A Notary is a public officer who serves the public in non-contentious matters usually concerned with deeds, estates, powers-of-attorney, and foreign and international business. A notary service is normally required when a client has documents that are going to be scrutinised abroad. 

When our notary seal is placed on a document it signifies to authorities that the relevant checks have been carried out to verify the authenticity of the documents.

As a Dublin Notary, Hugh McGroddy can provide assistance to clients throughout Dublin, regarding buying and selling property abroad, oversees contracts, maintaining business files in multiple locations, foreign court proceedings, and more.



Power of Attorney

A Power of Attorney is a legal document where one person "the Donor" gives authority or powers to another person "the Donee" to make decisions for the donor in their absence. Hugh can act as your Attorney. The Attorney only has the ability to make decisions and outline in the document and these usually to business decisions and the power is withdrawn once the Doner returns. 


Hugh also provides an Enduring Power of Attorney which gives the ability for the attorney to make medical decisions should the Doner become mentally incapacitated.
