What matters can a Justice of the Peace assist with?
Depending on the level of authority (as detailed on the first page - that is, whether the matter is for Queensland, the Commonwealth etc.) services provided by a Justice of the Peace may include:
- witnessing people signing documents as prescribed by law, including:
- statutory declarations
- wills
- affidavits
- Powers of Attorney, Advanced Health Directives
- documents dealing with land titles.
- Family Law forms (Commonwealth matter)
- certifying copies of documents as true copies
- the original document must always be provided.
** An Australian Justice of the Peace cannot provide legal advice. I am always happy to assist in researching where you may find information and assistance.________________________________________________________
