Notarial deeds are official documents drawn up by a notary public, giving full legal value to transactions such as:

• real estate sales
• donations
• incorporation of companies
• special or general powers of attorney
• declarations of inheritance

In Italy, only a notary public can formalize certain deeds with probative value and enforceable against third parties. However, preparatory work is often handled by experienced legal advisors, who:

• 🔍 gather the documents
• 🧾 check for formal correctness
• 📄 translate and certify foreign documents
• 🗣 communicate with the notary public on behalf of the client

The advantage?Save time, avoid mistakes, and arrive prepared for the notary appointment, even remotely.
