About our practice
The notaire’s core activity is drawing up legal documents; these are described in law as ‘actes authentiques’, and have significant advantages :
• The notaire’s signature on them provides proof of their content and date
• In respect of the obligations they contain, they are already executable, without the need for any prior legal decision
• They are kept indefinitely, since notaire’s records have the status of public archives.
Apart from drawing up legal documents, notaires have always had a traditional rôle in :
• Property valuation
• Inheritance management
• Family mediation.
These varied activities can only take place within a context of strict respect of a professional code of practice and the rules of ethics. In everyone’s interest, the notaire’s involvement is governed by fundamental principles like neutrality, objectivity and impartiality.
Appropriate, modern structures and new skills are bringing new vitality to this profession, always at the service of social harmony and economic efficiency.
Your Notaire can help and advise you, so don’t hesitate to consult him.
