While they both provide legal services to the public, Notaries generally focus on non-contentious issues such as estate planning, real estate and other such documentation. Notaries hold professional liability insurance, just like lawyers do, but they do not go to court on behalf of their clients. Unlike lawyers, notaries also cannot provide services for disputes such as separations or divorces.
Notary Public, also known as a “Notary”, is a person that is authorized to preform certain legal formalities on behalf of the public.
