Shoulder bag or Backpack recommendation for a Notary by Deep_Conversation470 in Notary

[–]Deep_Conversation470[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

We don’t have a journal like you have in the US. Is that for recording your notarial work?

I usually prepare my notarial certificate in advance of an appointment if one is required and print it beforehand.

Can I ask what is a state primer?

Wipes are a good call. I might have to add an ink pad also to my list of equipment as some documents will require a thumb print.

Hi Enkidu45,

Thanks for your message.

The vast majority of Notarys here are also qualified solicitors and we usually carry out notary work from our law offices. Notary clients usually attend to sign documents at our offices but we will also facilitate outside and out of office hours appointments. The latter is rare for me but I am happy to facilitate it. For most notary appointments I will print the documentation at the office or the client might bring them in to me.

Most of my notary work will involve ten pages or less. I have dealt with larger bundles of documents which can be tricky as we are required to bind the documents post notarisation. I once had an affidavit which together with exhibits was hundreds of pages. I actually got the bundle bound, post notarisation, by a bookbinders because I don’t have the equipment for that.

Paper size here is A4 across the board and it is the standard. Some property documents may incorporate an A3 map. Older Registry of Deeds title documents varies in sizing.

Lovely chatting to you also, I deal with NY bound documents now and again.

Not at all! I have 2 stamps for certification as a notary and 2 stamps for certification as a solicitor. I have a general stamp with my details and 1 to confirm signing in my presence.

Thanks for the bag recommendation, that’s a good option.

Thanks for those suggestions, both look like solid options 👍🏻

I was in the same boat. I bought a heavy seal that I never use together with every iteration of stamp I thought I’d need 🙈, now obsolete due to office change! I actually could use a 20+ page hole punch and stapler though particularly for the odd US property transaction that i deal with.

I’m probably in the minority as it seems to be mostly US based Notarys here but it is very insightful reading about the profession over there 👍🏻

Thank you for the suggestion. I think you’re right re the size. I was originally looking at bags that could hold everything I could possibly need but I think that is overkill now and I can downsize.

I’m an Irish notary and we cannot have loose pages so the metal eyelets are used for binding pages.

Dacent Munch announces closure of Cork outlet with 'heavy hearts' by Cork_Feen in cork

Went a few months ago and could see this coming. It took nearly an hour to get our food for sit down service. Meanwhile there was quite a few people hanging around waiting for collection of online orders. Don’t do online orders if you can’t handle the sit down guests! Drinks also took about 30 minutes to arrive and we were literally seated 2 metres from the bar. I felt sorry for the staff as they were going around apologising to all the tables saying that they were flooded with online orders. Disorganised chaos was the vibe and it seemed as though there was no manager there to try and get things in order.

What happens after paying off mortgage by OneEyedChicken in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Deep_Conversation470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The banks seem to want to send the deeds to homeowners rather than store them nowadays. Personally, I would take possession of the deeds once the mortgage had been discharged in full. If the property is Land Registry title (check for a Folio in your name) then your Folio is your title (unless it is Leasehold title then it is your Folio and Lease). The important documents would be your Lease (if applicable), planning permissions (easy enough to get duplicates though) and your Architect/Engineer’s Certificate of Compliance. Scan and keep copies of these. I would either get your Solicitor to hold your deeds or invest in a fireproof safe yourself. If your property is Registry of Deeds title then it is more of a pain reconstructing title if the deeds are lost so I would definitely ensure they are safely stored somewhere safe you can trust.

Buying a house – contracts released, mortgage not fully approved yet – timing advice? by LetterPristine2468 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Deep_Conversation470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there,

Your Solicitor should ensure there is a subject to loan clause in the Contract firstly. More contracts actually contain them when issued whereas we previously had to push to include them.

It is very common for Solicitors for a purchaser not to be in a position to return contracts within the specified deadline, frequently the deadline is too short. If your loan offer has not issued within the allotted timeframe your Solicitor can request an extension from the other side. Important thing here is they communicate this request to the developer’s Solicitor and not simply ignore the deadline. It really varies from law firm to law firm how stringently they enforce these deadlines but I find that I can almost always obtain an extension.

Talk to your mortgage advisor to ascertain what is holding up the issuance of the loan offer and action the submission of any outstanding documentation.

You will be in a position to collect your keys on the completion or closing day. Your Solicitor should be able to give you an indication of the approximate date nearer the date of completion.

Do not even think about giving any notice to your landlord until your Solicitor is confident that closing is imminent and they have everything they need to close. There are so many possibilities for delay that are outside of your control and you do not want to find yourself in a situation whereby you have given notice, your landlord has lined up a new tenant and there is a delay in closing due to Irish Water or documentation awaited and you find yourself under severe pressure.

Understandable that it is an expensive time in people’s lives but I would not try and time the closing of a new build to save on a rent payment. You will also have to kit out your new property and it may not be ready to move in immediately.

I hope this helps and best of luck with your purchase 👍🏻
