What do we record?

We examine the documents and legal implications. You do not need to work out the arrangement yourself beforehand. We will agree on which missing documents we can request.

A check mark means you have prepared this item. It does not mean that the office has already checked the documents or that your file is complete.

“On important subjects, it can be helpful after a break to briefly record what has been agreed and what remains open.”
Paul Wellens

Your questions, step by step

A lingering disagreement can consume much energy. We help you understand what an agreement resolves and which rights you thereby relinquish.

Why do I go to the notaire for this?

A settlement records an arrangement whereby parties end or prevent a dispute through mutual concessions. The civil-law notary can help determine the consequences and suitable deed form.

How do we conclusively resolve a dispute?
  1. Set out facts, evidence, and claims side by side.

  2. Discuss which concessions each party makes.

  3. Record what is definitively settled, what remains open, and how the arrangement is executed.

How does this proceed and how long does it take?

Existing judicial or contractual deadlines remain important during negotiations. Have ongoing procedural dates monitored by your lawyer.

Which documents should I provide to the notaire?
What does the notaire do and investigate?
  • Which claims exist and who may dispose of them?
  • What do parties concede mutually?
  • Which procedures, deadlines and third-party rights apply?
  • Is it precisely clear what is arranged and how it is carried out?

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

What should I pay attention to before I sign?

Check renunciation of rights, payment, confidentiality and consequences for third parties. A general final clause can extend beyond what you expect.

Is a passage still unclear? Feel free to ask for an explanation with an example from your own situation. Only sign when you understand what you are agreeing to.

What else must I arrange afterwards?

Perform payments and other promises and keep proof. Coordinate any termination of a procedure with your lawyer.

Which practical tips can help me?

Also note which subjects fall outside the agreement. This prevents disputes over what “everything settled” means.

What do these words mean?
Settlement
an agreement with mutual concessions to resolve a dispute.
Renunciation of right
the relinquishment of a claim.
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.
