Special formality for contracts: significance and requirements for the conclusion of a notarial deed

Certain types of contracts require a special formality according to legal regulations that protect the interests of the contracting parties and legal transactions. These contracts must be concluded in the form of a notarial deed.

A contract that does not fulfill the prescribed formality requirement is not valid. An attorney can also prepare the contract for you, and a notary public will confirm it in the form of a notarial deed.

The following legal acts must be concluded in the form of a notarial deed:

• Contracts regulating property relations between spouses and unmarried partners,
• Contracts concerning the disposal of property by persons deprived of legal capacity,
• Agreements on renunciation of inheritance not yet opened,
• Other legal acts for which the law stipulates that they must be concluded in the form of a notarial deed, e.g., contract of life maintenance, deed of gift, annuity contract, gift contract for the event of death, transfer of business contract from sole proprietorship to other persons, merger, division, separation of a company.

 

For legal advice and representation in the conclusion of a contract that needs to be concluded in the form of a notarial deed, contact an attorney. They will guide you in choosing the appropriate type of contract, prepare a draft of the contract, and assist you in selecting a notary according to your preferences.
