Steve Rossell wrotelush4111 your last question just raised another one for me, thanx. Are notaries exclusive to their regency, locale etc, or does is it just sensible to use one with a more intimate knowledge with relationships in the area that you want to make transaction ?
I have been told by a notaris that speaks fluent English, is married to an Irishman, and supposedly has/had the only doctorate in such law and lives in Bali that each regency has a little bit different legal language that is used in their particular regency and MUST practice in that regency alone.
That doesn't mean (as Ron B. suggests) that you couldn't have a draft made by a notaris in one regency and used by a notaris as a suggested layout by a notaris in the regency to which he/she is domiciled and licensed to practice. It won't be in English, and it will be his/her accepted form for that regency.
BTW, since you are in the Gianyar regency you fortunately have a notaris that understands English and has been quite capable for my needs. I don't have his name, but his office is on jl. Sangginen just across the street from Warung (or Rumah Makan) Dijon.
