About Philip Westcott
Philip Westcott - Notary Public
I have more than 30 years’ legal experience, including 20 years as the senior partner of a legal practice involved in a wide variety of domestic and international matters. However, I now practice solely as a notary public typically authenticating documents on behalf of both businesses and private individuals for use overseas.
I am also one of only around 800 Notaries Public within the UK, who are specialist practitioners able to act in transactions associated with foreign jurisdictions.
As a Notary Public, I can bridge any differences between the legal systems of the UK and other countries to ensure that international transactions are completed in a timely manner, properly and lawfully.
My areas of expertise include:
- 01
The purchase and sale of land or property abroad.
- 02
Dealing with Powers of Attorney for use abroad.
- 03
Authenticating business documents and translations.
- 04
Advising on the validity of contracts relating to various aspects of overseas business activities.
- 05
Assisting with documents for immigration/emigration.
My flexible approach means that I am able to provide the services of a Notary Public from convenient locations across the UK and more especially in Fareham, Portsmouth and Southampton as well as much of Hampshire and West Sussex.
As well as arranging appointments during normal office hours, I offer an “out of hours” service in the evening or at weekends, when I can meet with clients at their home or business premises if required.
I am always happy to give (and my customary practice is to provide) an initial, without obligation, opinion on any Notarial matter, along with an estimate of the likely cost of my services.
