Notary services include comprehensive consulting in all areas requiring a notarial form by, in particular:

- Land law-related transactions

• in particular, contracts for the sale of land (e.g. plots/subplots/apartments)
• registration of mortgages and other charges on land
• construction contracts
• formation of residential property, declarations of division

- Corporate transactions

• founding of companies such as limited liability companies/GmbHs or joint stock companies
• capital increases, changes of ownership, changes of legal form (conversions)
• registration of powers of attorney and liquidations
• appointment and dismissal of executive directors

- Inheritance dispositions and transactions

• wills and testamentary contracts
• applications for certificates of inheritance

The notary’s dealings differ from those of an attorney in that his obligations are not limited to a single party but rather all parties involved. He does not represent one party and instead serves to protect the interests of all parties concerned.
