In a notarial deposit, Notaries offer legal backing and are impartial, which makes us trusted third parties to grant custody an official character, leaving a written record in a public deed. One of the unique characteristics is that the Notary is free to accept or not the deposit of goods and to impose conditions for it, always verifying that the object of the deposit does not constitute any legal infringement. Furthermore, when processing a notarial deposit in Barcelona, it guarantees that what is deposited will remain unaltered and unmodified, that is, it will be returned exactly as it was delivered.
