Small Matters
Helping You with Everyday Legal Tasks, Quickly, Professionally, and Cost-Effectively
At Jonathan Lea Network, we understand that not every legal issue requires a complex dispute or lengthy transaction. Many people simply need help with smaller but essential matters eg. documents witnessed, forms verified, or advice before signing.
Our Small Matters Service gives you access to qualified solicitors for these practical, everyday legal needs, delivered with clarity, speed, and value for money.
What Are “Small Matters”?
“Small Matters” are routine but important legal services that require a solicitor’s authority, verification, or certification. Examples include:
- ID1 Forms: Verifying your identity for HM Land Registry when you are unrepresented in a property transaction.
- Affidavits: Sworn written statements of fact used as evidence in court or administrative proceedings.
- Independent Legal Advice (ILA): Ensuring you fully understand what you are signing in guarantees, mortgage documents, or settlements.
- Will Storage: Safely storing your original Will so it’s protected and accessible to your executors when needed.
- Document Certification: Certifying copies of your documents for use in the UK or abroad.
- Witnessing Statutory Declarations: Administering formal declarations under the Statutory Declarations Act 1835.
