Civil Law Notary

Notaries are public officers who exercise a public function, as a liberal profession, delegated by the State that appoints them.
Their mission is to confer authenticity to legal acts and contracts, supervising legality, acting in an independent and impartial manner and providing due legal advice.
Notarial services include all legal activities in non-contentious matters, essential to prevent future disputes.
The notary accompanies individuals, from birth to death, in the most important moments of their lives.
