Tasks of a notary
Notaries are legal representatives who inform you of the rights and obligations of each party. Notaries draw up legally valid documents such as deeds of delivery, wills and mortgage deeds. In these, agreements between different parties are legally recorded, in the case of houses this is often between the seller and buyer. This is necessary if one party has to fulfil certain obligations.
Besides writing and signing documents, notaries are also responsible for certifying the signature, name, identity and place of residence. Thus, they guarantee the authenticity of documents in which agreements between the parties are recorded under oath. A certified document will always be recognised as such by the authorities (legal validity) because notaries provide this guarantee with their signature and seal.
Different deeds when buying property
Sales deed (purchase agreement)
In the deed of sale, the seller and buyer agree to the terms of the sale. The agreement can then be registered at the Land Registry (Kadaster) and becomes binding on both parties. The advantage of registration is that the buyer is protected for 6 months. During this period, no one can deprive him or her of the right of ownership. After 6 months, he or she has an exemption called ‘Vormerkung’. He or she is then fully protected against anything that happens to the property during these 6 months.
