What is a notarized legal notice?

A notarized legal notice, known in Arabic as إنذار عدلي, is a formal written notice prepared by one party and served on another through the notary public. The notary records that it was delivered, which gives the sender official proof of the date and content of the notice for any later dispute or court case.
