The services of a notary in Barcelona, in detail
The notary can be defined as an official who provides effective legal security, guaranteeing security and legality to acts or contracts.

Commercial and corporate law
It is very important that organisations, institutions and companies in general have the participation and supervision of a notary. The reason? The notary has an essential role when it comes to incorporating a company, its merger, demerger, transformation or liquidation.
As if that were not enough, notaries also intervene to grant powers of attorney, to revoke them or to formalise minutes or records of meetings.
Civil law
Individuals will also need Notaries throughout our lives. The signing of wills may be one of the best-known tasks, but there are many more. As in the previous case, among the most requested would be the revocation of powers of attorney and their granting. Successions by will or intestate successions and the assignment of rights are also very common, among other tasks.
Real estate law
In this case, there are a good number of services to consider. The purchase and sale of homes would be the best known of the procedures involving notarial intervention, although a notary is also involved in donations. The contribution of real estate companies, condominiums, an exchange or allocations via inheritances are other notable notarial procedures. Property transfers or the signing of mortgages are also highly demanded services in notary offices.
Likewise, the signing of deeds, horizontal divisions, dations in payment and property transfers would be other services in which notaries play a fundamental role.
Other lesser-known notary services
There are dozens of other notarial procedures that are good to know. Among them, we can highlight notifications, notarial requirements and even interpellations. In addition, testimonies, signature legitimations and the issuance of copies are other common services. On the other hand, procedures related to the certificate of facts, declarations, negotiations or conflict resolutions are also common. As if that were not enough, a notary also provides mediation services.
These are the most frequent notarial services that a notary works on. If you need one of them, or have any questions, contact JLA Notarios. We assist you from our Notary Office in Barcelona, to provide you with professional notarial services personalised and tailored to your needs or requirements.
