If you are a newcomer to Scotland and need help with legal matters like Wills, Powers of Attorney, estate administration or sorting out overseas documents, Quill Legal Notary Public Edinburgh is here to assist you.

We are a boutique law firm based in Edinburgh, specialising in private client services and international document authentication. With the aid of video conferencing facilities we are able to assist clients all over Scotland and indeed all over the world when required. The firm provides expert legal support for matters such as notarising documents with a Notary Public in Edinburgh, drafting Wills and Powers of Attorney and handling estate administration. All services are delivered with a strong focus on ensuring compliance with Scottish legal requirements but also taking into account international provisions when dealing with foreign documents.

Many of those living in Scotland require more than just document certification. Like all residents, it is essential to make a Will and grant a Power of Attorney in order to safeguard personal interests. When a loved one passes away their Scottish estate must be wound up in accordance with Scots law. If there are also assets in another country Quill Legal can offer guidance on what legal processes must be followed to deal with them efficiently, helping to minimise complications and delays.

For those needing to use official documents abroad—such as marriage certificates, academic qualifications or business agreements—proof of authenticity is often required. This may involve obtaining an Apostille for your documents from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office using our Notary Public services in Edinburgh or completing consular legalisation. Many new arrivals in Scotland also require certified copies of naturalisation certificates or Powers of Attorney to manage assets in other countries. Quill Legal provides clear, practical advice on the appropriate legal steps, ensuring that documents meet the necessary standards for recognition both in Scotland and internationally.

Quill Legal Edinburgh aims to provide a personal and client focused approach. It offers tailored legal support, ensuring that every client receives clear guidance suited to their circumstances. Whether document notarisation, certification or legal advice is needed, Quill Legal’s efficient and professional service helps navigate the legal requirements smoothly. The firm has extensive experience to offer and can provide you with the necessary reassurance that all legal obligations will be met.
