PRIVATE AGREEMENTS

Agreements without a notarial deed also deserve careful wording.

To begin with

← NotaLegal

A loan within the family, agreements after a dispute or a bank gift: we translate your intention into a suitable document. First, we investigate whether a private form is legally possible.

"People can mean what they say and yet be unable to do it."

More than filling in a template.

We examine your situation, discuss the arrangements and prepare a text that aligns with what the parties truly intend. Attention is also given to signing, supporting documents and safekeeping.

A handwritten will is a unilateral disposition. Guidance for this is also included in this overview, with the required personal writing and signing instructions.

CLEAR IN ADVANCE

What does it cost?

You want to know in advance what to expect. That is why we clearly and transparently discuss what work your file requires and what fee applies. We take into account the nature and complexity of your question, the documents to be examined and the time a careful handling requires.

We determine in advance which documents are necessary and explain any additional document costs. If a notarial deed is required, we first discuss the adjusted assignment and costs. When the law requires a notarial deed, a private agreement does not suffice.

FROM READING TO PREPARATION

Already a first answer.

Do I need to know already which deed I need?

No. Start from what you want to arrange. An existing deed, a draft or your own description helps us ask the right questions. The explanation on this page gives you a first idea of the possibilities; the concrete elaboration follows from your situation.

What can I prepare now?

Gather the documents mentioned on this page for preparation. Also note what you want to keep, who is involved and which date is relevant. If you do not yet have everything, mention what is missing at your appointment.

Can I first have a draft discussed?

You can submit your question about a draft before proceeding. Indicate if there is a response deadline and provide the complete version, including attachments. We will coordinate with you on the control and guidance you require.
