When to go to the notary?

By Juan Madridejos Velasco and Luis Alberto Álvarez Moreno, Notaries of Barcelona and partners at J&LA Notarios Asociados.

Have you ever wondered when to go to the Notary? Today we will mention the most common situations in which we have to go to the Notary, whether on a personal or professional level.

When to go to the Notary?

First, we will recall the functions of the Notary. If they had to be summarised quickly and simply, we could refer to a single word: trust. That is to say, the main purpose of any notary office is to provide maximum peace of mind and trust. Through professionalism, impartial and free advice is offered, which helps to face the different procedures.

In this way, the Notary can attest, certify and oversee the different procedures. All of this, of course, thanks to their knowledge and the recognition that the law grants to their word. Likewise, you can go to any notary office to receive free legal advice.

When to go to the Notary for personal matters?

In any case, beyond the general information in the previous section, it is necessary to answer the specific question: why go to the Notary? Well, in the case that we are a private individual, there are many instances in which we go to the Notary, as it is necessary or advisable. To mention just a few examples of such cases, we can refer to the following:

  • The need to recover the will granted by a deceased person.
  • The need to have a declaration of heirs in the event that the deceased had not made a will.
  • When you want to take out a personal or mortgage loan.
  • When you want to buy a house.
  • When you wish to make a donation.
  • To carry out nationality oaths.
  • To establish civil partnerships.
  • When you wish to sign prenuptial agreements.
  • For the celebration of marriage, but also for the certification of a separation or divorce.
  • To grant certain types of powers of attorney, including general preventive powers.
  • To certify the emancipation of children.
  • In case protection measures are needed for relatives with disabilities.
  • For the recognition of children by the father.

In any case, it must be understood that these are just some of the many existing cases. As we can see, these are very serious matters, so going to notaries in Barcelona who are professionals is essential. That will be the only way to ensure maximum satisfaction.

Why go to the Notary in the case of companies?

In contrast to what was said in the previous section, it is appropriate to address the cases in which a company may be interested in going to a Notary. Thus, we can talk about:

  • The incorporation or dissolution of a particular company.
  • To buy shares or previously incorporated companies.
  • The mergers of two different companies.
  • Corporate spin-offs or transformations.
  • The transfer of shares or stocks.
  • The transfer of patents and trademarks.

There are many other cases in which we may need to go to the Notary and you can see more examples of commercial and corporate notarial services.

In conclusion, in any case, the most important thing is to always put yourself in the hands of professionals. That is the only way to achieve exactly the objectives pursued. In this regard, when it comes to finding a notary office in Barcelona, nothing better than contacting us. We encourage everyone to ask for advice without obligation, as we will know how to provide the precise answers.
