Notar

An impartial legal officer who notarises important transactions: buying property, founding a GmbH, marriage contracts and some powers of attorney are only valid in notarial form. The notary is neutral, not your advocate, and fees are fixed by law, so they are the same everywhere. Read the draft documents before the appointment and ask questions — the notary must explain them.

In plain German

Eine neutrale Juristin oder ein neutraler Jurist, der wichtige Verträge offiziell macht.

موظف قانوني محايد يوثّق المعاملات المهمة رسميًا: شراء العقارات وتأسيس شركات GmbH وعقود الزواج وبعض التوكيلات لا تصح إلا بالتوثيق لديه. كاتب العدل محايد وليس محاميك، ورسومه محددة بالقانون فهي واحدة في كل مكان. اقرأ مسودات المستندات قبل الموعد واسأل عما يُشكل عليك، فهو ملزم بشرحها لك.
