RTNotary — Dublin

RTNotary serves South Dublin from its office in Rathfarnham Village, including Dundrum, Terenure, Tallaght, Rathgar and Templeogue. It also travels to some Dublin City Centre districts such as Smithfield, Stoneybatter and Phibsborough. You can ask whether a visit to your area is possible before you book, especially for a document that has to be signed in person.

Fees for this work are usually either a fixed fee for a defined task or an hourly charge, and the complexity of the matter and the experience of the person acting affect the total. VAT and outlays are usually added on top. The Solicitor price guide gives typical prices in Ireland.

Solicitors in Ireland are regulated by the Law Society of Ireland, and you can look up the Law Society roll to confirm a solicitor's name before you hire them. You can ask RTNotary which of its services are carried out by a solicitor and which by a notary, and what professional body applies to each.

A first consultation is usually a short conversation about the document or matter, what it is for and where it will be used. You can ask whether there is a charge for that conversation and how long it normally takes. You can also ask about the next steps and whether any paperwork has to be ready beforehand.

RTNotary has a Google rating of 5 from 16 reviews, and the reviews can be read on its Google Maps page at https://maps.google.com/?cid=13602896077195644004. When you read them, look at how recent they are and whether anyone mentions work similar to yours, or ask the firm for references from recent clients.

You can ask what identification you will need, then bring the original document along with copies of anything it refers to. If the document is in a language other than English, bring a note of what it is for and any translation that already exists. Writing down your questions before the appointment helps you use the meeting well.

You can ask for a quote through the RTNotary website or through its Locufy page. Say which document you need dealt with, what it is for, whether it has to be signed in person or used abroad, and when you need it done. Including a copy of the document, if you have one, helps the firm give you a more accurate quote.
