Notarial deeds
Notarial deeds are public documents that allow the notary to record certain facts, statements, situations or actions, providing legal certainty and evidentiary value.
At Notaría de Blas & Lluna, we offer advice to help you determine which type of notarial deed you need and how it should be formalised according to your circumstances.
Notarial deeds can be useful for both individuals and businesses and can be used to certify certain facts before third parties, public authorities, courts or other institutions.
What is a notarial deed?
A notarial deed is a document certified by a notary that records a fact or circumstance witnessed, verified or documented by the notary in accordance with the applicable legislation.
Unlike a public deed, the main purpose of a notarial record is not to formalise a legal transaction, but to record facts or circumstances with guarantees of authenticity.
What is a notarial deed used for?
Notarial deeds can be used in a wide range of situations, including:
- Record certain statements.
- Certify facts or circumstances.
- Document formal demands or notifications.
- Record the existence or contents of certain documents.
- Carry out certain verifications.
- Document situations involving companies and corporate entities.
- Record a person’s statements or declarations.
- Establish evidence of certain facts for evidentiary purposes.
Each case requires an assessment of which type of notarial deed is appropriate and what the notary can document.
Types of Notarial Deeds
Depending on their purpose, there are different types of notarial deeds, including deeds of statements, deeds of presence, deeds of notification and formal demand, deeds of deposit in the notarial protocol, and deeds relating to certain business activities, among others.
At Notaría de Blas & Lluna, we will assess your case to advise you on which type of notarial deed may be most suitable.
Required Documentation
The required documentation will depend on the type of notarial deed and the facts to be documented.
In general, you may need to provide:
- Valid ID card, NIE or other valid identification document.
- Information and documentation relating to the facts to be established.
- Documents you wish to include in the notarial record or provide to the notary.
- Details of the individuals or entities involved in the notarial deed.
- Information about the place, date and circumstances of the events, where applicable.
- If acting on behalf of another person or company, documentation proving the authority to represent them.
In certain cases, additional documentation or specific information may be required so that the notary can carry out the requested procedure.
Contact the notary office before your visit, and we will let you know which documents you need to prepare.
