Firm in practice since 1866 in King William's Town, with a Nahoon branch, handling conveyancing, notarial and estate work.
Squire Smith & Laurie, which trades as Squires Inc, has practised in King William's Town (Qonce) since 1866. Its main office is at 44 Taylor Street, and it later opened a branch in Nahoon, East London, so clients on the coast do not need to travel inland. The directors are AG Clarke and AL Friderichs. The firm's attorneys work as notaries, conveyancers and administrators of deceased estates.
The firm sits close to the Master's Office and High Court in Bhisho and the Deeds Office in King William's Town, and much of its work runs through those offices. It transfers property and registers bonds for FNB, Standard Bank and ABSA anywhere in the country, drafts wills and winds up estates, and registers family and business trusts. On the notarial side it authenticates signatures, certifies copies of public documents, arranges apostilles and drafts antenuptial and cohabitation agreements. It also litigates in the High Court and Magistrates' Courts and does labour work.
Firms from the rest of South Africa use Squires as a correspondent in East London, Bhisho, King William's Town, Mdantsane, Zwelitsha and the wider Buffalo City area. The firm's website returned a blank page when checked.
