Family Law Services
Offered by a Notary Firm

Family law services provided by a notary firm aim to support individuals and couples through key moments in their personal lives, combining legal certainty, clarity, and a human approach. As an impartial advisor, the notary guides clients through decisions that are often emotionally charged, while ensuring legal compliance and protecting everyone’s interests.

Before or during a relationship, the notary drafts marriage contracts, cohabitation agreements (de facto unions), and parental union agreements, allowing spouses or partners to define their matrimonial regime, organize the management of their assets, and establish fair provisions in the event of separation or death.

In the event of a separation, the notary may prepare separation agreements, civil union dissolution agreements, and property division agreements, promoting a respectful and amicable approach.

Notarial family law also encompasses estate planning, including the drafting of wills, protection mandates (mandates in anticipation of incapacity), inter vivos gifts, and estate settlements. These instruments ensure a smooth transfer of family assets while minimizing the risk of disputes.

The notary also intervenes in matters involving the protection of vulnerable individuals, such as the homologation of a protection mandate or the institution of tutorship.

Overall, notarial family law services are grounded in a structured, preventive, and human approach, providing families with peace of mind and the assurance that their decisions reflect both their wishes and legal requirements.
