Your questions, step by step

A legal question becomes clearer when it is understood what you wish to decide. Together we agree on what needs to be investigated and which documents will assist.

Why do I go to the notaire for this?

The notaire can examine a defined legal question based on facts and complete documents. Agree on who the client is and for what purpose the advice will be used.

How do I present a professional advice request?
  1. Describe the decision for which advice is needed.

  2. Provide evidence, previous advice and ongoing deadlines.

  3. Agree on scope, fee and delivery and then discuss the conclusions.

How does this proceed and how long does it take?

The timing is adjusted to the question, missing data, and desired decision. State a hard deadline at the first contact.

Which documents should I provide to the notaire?

Prepare what you already have. You do not need to wait until your folder is complete to make an appointment.

Is a document missing or do you not know where to find it? Check the help for each document. We will discuss what the office can obtain for you and what you still need to provide yourself.

Where can I find this?

Provide the complete version with date, attachments and later amendments. Do you not have this document or do you not know if it exists? Select “Help needed” and discuss it with the office.

Open the checklist: ready, need help or not applicable
What does the notaire do and investigate?
  • What falls within the assignment and who may issue instructions?
  • Which facts are proven and which remain uncertain?
  • Which sources and rules apply?
  • Which choices and follow-up steps are still required?

We agree on which searches the office will conduct and which information you, your bank or another expert will provide.

What do I check before the next step?

Check that the facts and assumptions are correct. Make clear which choices still need to be made by the client or another adviser.

What else must I arrange afterwards?

Record who will undertake the implementation. New facts may give reason to adjust the advice.

Which practical tips can help me?

Provide complete agreements with annexes and amendments. Separate clauses may give an incorrect picture.

What do these words mean?
Mandate
the assignment or authority to act for someone.
Assumption
a premise that still needs to be confirmed.
Where can I find more explanation or help?

You do not have to phrase your question in legal terms. Tell what concerns you, what you want to arrange and if an important date is approaching.

We will look together at the next step. We agree in advance on how the office will assist you and what costs are involved.

Notarial expertise

Strong in your profession, we are strong in ours

No one masters everything, nor do they need to. You are strong in your field, we are strong in ours. That is exactly where the added value arises. If you encounter a notarial question in a file, we think along with you: the technique of a deed, a settlement-division that stalls, a real estate construction, the notarial elaboration of an estate planning. You receive well-founded advice that you use directly in your own file. This is how professionals support each other, each from their own speciality, and above all the client benefits.

01

Tailored written advice

A written analysis with a clear conclusion. The assignment and deadline are agreed upon in advance.

Submit your question

Reciprocity

It works in two directions

If one of our clients needs a lawyer, accountant, financial planner or a care provider, we refer to trusted experts. No commissions, no obligations. Just the right person for the right question, that is what a contact point does.

First establish the facts, then the desirability.

Starting point for a careful discussion.

Your Next Step

Feel free to come and talk.

You do not need to know everything yet. Tell us what is going on. We will examine together what is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

FROM READING TO PREPARATION

Already a first answer.

What information helps with a focused request for advice?

Describe the concrete question, the established facts and the missing information separately. Include the relevant draft or existing agreements and state the desired timing. This way the office can delimit the requested intervention.

How do we coordinate the collaboration?

Indicate your role, who the client is and who should be involved in the coordination. Before starting, we discuss the assignment, the necessary documents and the mode of feedback. Share client documents via the method agreed with the office.

Can I also submit a proposed solution?

Yes. Explain what goal you want to achieve with it and which assumptions underlie it. Also note the alternatives you are considering. This allows the discussion to focus on the points that truly make a difference for the decision.
