THE MISSION
The notarial function
A notary is a legal professional responsible for giving private documents official and indisputable status. They operate under the authority of the Minister of Justice but practice within a liberal economic framework.
A public officer serving citizens
Working in family, real estate, inheritance, and rural matters, notaries guarantee the validity and enforceability of the documents they authenticate.
According to the ordinance of November 2, 1945, notaries have the power to confer special legal force upon private documents.
The Legal Force of Authentic Deeds
Each deed authenticated by a notary has the same legal force as a final court decision, protecting the parties against any challenge.
An Independent Professional
Although entrusted with a public service mission, the notary is a self-employed professional, remunerated by their clients according to a fee schedule regulated by decree.
A Strategic National Network
The presence of notarial offices is regulated to guarantee equitable access to public legal services, adapted to the evolving needs of the population.
