Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has commended the introduction of a new book on the practice of Notaries Public in Ghana, describing it as a valuable resource that will bring much-needed clarity to the profession.

Her remarks were delivered on her behalf by Superior Court Judge, His Lordship Justice Richard Apietu, at the launch of the book “Notaries Public Practice in Ghana – The Law, Cases and Materials” on March 27.

In Ghana, a Notary Public is appointed by the Chief Justice and serves as a public officer authorized to handle non-contentious matters, including financial transactions, estates, deeds, and international business, as well as to attest to signatures and execute documents.

The 1,514-page book, authored by legal practitioner and researcher Daniel Yaw Abaidoo, is the first of its kind in Ghana, contextualizing notarial practice within the country’s legal framework while aligning with global standards.
