Keith Calleja Dr Notary Public

Business Overview

Finding a notary public in Malta you can trust matters when a property sale, a will or a business contract is on the line. Dr Keith Calleja, based in Attard, offers clear and steady legal guidance to individuals and businesses across Malta and Gozo. He is a notary public appointed for life by the President of Malta. This means he acts as an impartial officer, giving every document he prepares the full weight of Maltese law.

Property conveyancing is a core part of Dr Calleja's work. He guides first time buyers, investors and holiday home buyers through every stage of a purchase or sale. The Promise of Sale Agreement is usually the first step. It sets out the price, payment terms and completion date. Dr Calleja registers this agreement with the Inland Revenue Department within the required 21 days. Before the final Contract of Sale, he checks the property title and Read Moresearches for mortgages or debts. He also confirms that planning and building permits are in order. He then coordinates the signing appointment for everyone involved, and can prepare a Power of Attorney if a party cannot attend in person.

Businesses also rely on Dr Calleja for commercial lease agreements, drafting terms that cover rent, payment dates, duration and repair responsibilities. This helps landlords and tenants start on solid ground. His contract drafting service covers service agreements, partnership contracts and other business documents, written in plain and enforceable language. When a business transfer takes place, he reviews financial records, existing contracts, assets and debts. This due diligence protects both sides of the transaction.

Planning ahead for the future is another area of expertise. Dr Calleja prepares public wills, signed before a notary and two witnesses and registered at the Public Registry. He also prepares secret wills, deposited at the Court Registry for those who prefer privacy during their lifetime. He explains the reserved portion rules that protect certain family members, and can prepare a joint will for married couples. When someone dies, he prepares the Causa Mortis deed. This gives heirs legal ownership of inherited property. He also guides families through intestate succession when no will exists.

Dr Calleja prepares general and special powers of attorney. He explains the difference so clients can choose the right authority for their situation, and can arrange cancellation when it is no longer needed. His affidavit service supports court cases, government applications and business matters, with the oath administered and the document properly certified. For commercial transactions, he prepares bill of exchange documents in line with Maltese commercial law. His document certification service covers academic certificates, passports and other official papers, accepted by government offices, schools, employers and authorities abroad.
