Notarial activity for purchase contracts

The notary plays a central role when buying or selling a property. As an impartial legal advisor, he ensures that all legal requirements are met and that the contract is fair and legally valid.

The tasks of the notary include

• the preparation and notarization of the purchase agreement
• clarification of open questions, e.g. regarding third-party rights
• the entry of the change of ownership in the land register
• ensuring that payments and services are made as agreed

Notarial activity for transfer agreements

A notary plays an important role in transfers, especially to the next generation. He ensures that the legal regulations are clear, legally secure and tailored to the individual wishes of the partie involved. Typically, a lifelong and rent-free right of residence is often granted to the transferor so that they can continue to live in the property. In addition, a right of reclaim is often agreed. This means that the transfer can be reversed if a disruptive event occurs in the person of the purchaser – for example in the event of divorce or insolvency. The notary will explain the regulations in detail and ensure that the agreements are legally secure.

Notarial activity for land charges and mortgages

A notary is also an important contact for the creation of land charges and mortgages. If a property serves as security for a loan, a land charge or mortgage is often created. The notary ensures that these rights are entered correctly and legally in the land register. The land charge serves to secure the lender in the event that the loan is not repaid. The notary explains the conditions of the order and ensures that all the necessary formalities are completed properly. This ensures that all parties understand the legal consequences and that the agreements are clear and transparent.

Notarial activity in inheritance disputes

In the case of inheritance disputes, especially when land, apartments or financial estates are involved, the notary helps to legally regulate the division of the estate. The notary ensures that the distribution of the inheritance is carried out correctly and that all parties involved understand their rights and obligations. They can also help to avoid disputes by drawing up clear, legally secure contracts and making the necessary entries in the land register or other registers.

Notarial activity for heritable building rights

A leasehold is the right to build on a plot of land or use a property without being the owner of the land. Instead, the leaseholder usually pays an annual ground rent to the landowner. The notary is important when creating or selling leaseholds, as he ensures that the agreements are legally secure and clearly drafted. He checks and notarizes the contract, takes care of the necessary entry in the land register and explains all legal aspects to the parties involved so that the transaction is handled properly.

Notarial activity for easements

An easement is a right that allows a person to use someone else’s property in a certain way. For example, it can be the right to walk across a neighbor’s property or to draw water from a well. The notary plays an important role in the creation of easements, as he ensures that the agreements are formulated and notarized in a legally correct manner. He also ensures that these rights are entered in the land register so that they are legally effective and clearly understandable for all parties.
