themselves. I hold insurance. The Notaries Accounts Rules 1989 will be
observed
I will remain impartial and independent. I am also a solicitor within the
practice of Palmers please be assured that the notarial acts undertaken
will remain separate from the solicitors practice, all records and
accounting is also kept separate. Notaries owe a duty first and foremost
to the transaction itself. All dealings will remain confidential (although
notaries are subject to the general laws relating to money laundering
and terrorism). I will keep full and detailed records of your matter.
