Have you ever wondered what the functions of the notaries in Alicante are? We invite you to learn a little more about the type of procedures carried out in this sector:

A notary public basically intervenes in two types of documents. These are the deed and the act. In the first, he records relationships of contracts, agreements, wills, etc. Through the second, the notary acts after the request of the interested party to record and attest to facts such as notifications, interpellations, acts of an illicit nature, etc.

Difference between act and deed

A notarial deed establishes a legal fact (it attests to something) and the deed contains a legal act (different parties agree on something).

What is public faith?

It is the guarantee given by the public official (notary) that what is expressed in a document is true and valid.
