Notary Public Services
A Public Notary is an experienced lawyer appointed by the Supreme Court to perform notarial deeds. They have the power to witness documents, take oaths and perform a range of administrative functions required predominantly in foreign countries, but also in Australia. A Public Notary is in a sense regarded as an international Justice of the Peace, as a local Justice of the Peace is not permitted to witness documents for use in foreign countries.
Mr Furstenberg, the principal of Furstenberg Solicitors & Notaries, was appointed a Public Notary by the Full Bench of the Supreme Court of Western Australia after the Chief Justice certified that Mr Furstenberg, who has been practising law since 1994, is qualified to act as such. The certificate has been issued on the basis of the experience, character and competency of Mr Furstenberg and the need for the appointment of a Public Notary in the northern suburbs of Perth.
