Notarial Deposit Record

The notarial deposit deed or contract requires legal precision to avoid future conflicts and protect the parties involved. For those who need a solid document that adapts to their needs, meets legal requirements, and provides peace of mind in the protection of their assets, our Notaries' office in Barcelona can process it guaranteeing all of the above.

What is a notarial deposit and what is it used for?

The that is used to deliver an asset of any kind to the Notary, for safekeeping in deposit. This type of notarial deed establishes the conditions under which one of the parties, known as the depositor, entrusts an asset to the Notary, who assumes the responsibility of safeguarding it and returning it as agreed.

In this case, it is the Notary who, by virtue of the Notarial Regulations (articles 216 and following), may accept goods or objects in deposit for safekeeping. The deposited object will be recorded in the deposit deed and will be returned in the agreed manner and timeframe.

Furthermore, this type of document serves to certify that an asset or object is in their possession on a specific date (being, in this case, the day the notarial deposit is made), to certify its existence or to determine its delivery.

And, an example of a notarial deposit?

There are different types of goods or objects that can be left in custody. Likewise, they can also be left for different reasons, such as resolving disputes or due to ongoing legal situations. However, the most common are the following:

  • Deposit of money, cheques or securities, for example in housing purchase contract procedures and in deposit agreements.
  • Material goods or valuable objects such as USBs with computer files.
  • Deposit of keys, especially in purchase contracts and lease terminations.

Where are the goods and documents of a deposit kept?

The deposits are kept in a safe and appropriate place, depending on the case. In the case of money deposits, custody is held in a current bank account of the notary's office. In the case of documents, they are usually kept in a safe.

What is the most common deposit certificate?

The notarial deed of money deposit is among the most common. Depositing money before a Notary, as we have mentioned, is an option in purchase and sale procedures, but also to offer guarantees of compliance with other contracts and even in judicial proceedings, in the division of marital assets, inheritances or trust funds.

As we have mentioned, the money deposit is made by depositing it into a current account of the notary's office.

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.
