Frequently asked Questions and answers.
Typical questions in notary offices may include:
Public notarization is always required when the law expressly requires this. This applies in particular to real estate transactions, marriage and inheritance contracts as well as numerous corporate transactions.
If the form required by law is not complied with, the transaction is generally void.
The notary ensures that the will of the parties is carefully and impartially established, checked for illegality and certified in a formal public document.
In doing so, he takes a strictly neutral position and performs central tasks such as clarifying and fixing the actual party will to the exclusion of misunderstandings or pressure, verifying the lawfulness, completeness and enforceability of the certified content, strict compliance with all legal formalities and the prevention of formal nullifications, legal disputes and subsequent challenges.
In a public certification, the entire content of a legal transaction is carefully checked for illegality, completeness and enforceability, the actual will of the parties is established impartially and set down in a binding and formal document. Certification, on the other hand, only confirms the authenticity of signatures or the correspondence of copies with the original, without any verification of the content, determination of intent or legal assessment of the transaction.
Whether a legally required public certification or a simple certification: We offer both services professionally.
The documents required as part of a public certification or certification always depend on the specific transaction. Identity documents, existing draft contracts and relevant register extracts or land register information are usually required. Depending on the constellation, additional documents may be required.
We will inform you at an early stage which documents must be submitted in each individual case.
In particular, the formation of companies, amendments to the articles of association, capital increases and reductions, transformations, mergers, divisions and liquidations must be publicly notarized.
A pension contract can either be drawn up by hand or publicly notarized. Public certification offers increased legal certainty as well as a significantly reduced risk of subsequent challenges through independent determination of will and legal review by a notary.
There are three types of wills provided for by law and the inheritance contract as a further final will: the handwritten will, the public will and the emergency will.
The handwritten will must be written, dated and signed in full by hand by the testator. It is easy to set up, but involves risks due to formal errors and subsequent challenges, for example due to doubts about the ability to be tested.
The public will is drawn up before a notary and two witnesses. The will of the testator is expertly established and checked for legal compliance, which can prevent formal deficiencies.
An emergency will is only admissible in exceptional situations, such as an acute risk of death.
The most legally secure forms of estate settlement are the public will and the notarized inheritance contract. Based on certification by a notary, they offer a high level of formal and legal security and significantly reduce the risk of subsequent disputes or formal invalidity.
