A loan agreement certified by a notary or a receipt?
From the point of view of law and practice, a notarial form of a loan agreement is the best way to protect yourself as a creditor; it reduces the risk of non-repayment of the loan and simplifies the collection procedure. A receipt is a riskier, though common, option.

Before concluding a gift agreement, it is advisable to clarify if there is a tax. This does not concern close relatives, as they can accept property as a gift without paying Individual Income Tax (IPN).

How to check the legal purity of a real estate object before pledging it via a notary?

How to conclude a transaction with LLP (TOO) shares?
To determine how to conclude a transaction with LLP shares, one must review the provisions of the legal entity's Charter. Alienation of a share of common property of founders and/or shareholders implies that the transaction must be mandatorily certified by a notary. Other participants of the company are endowed with a preemptive right to purchase the share in the LLP, including at a price previously provided for by the Charter. The ownership right of the acquirer of the alienated company share arises only after re-registration.
What is an executive inscription?
An executive inscription by a notary is an order for the forced collection of a sum of money or movable property from a debtor in favor of a creditor. It simplifies the collection process for a quick and extra-judicial resolution of the claim. To obtain the inscription, it is necessary that the debt be undisputed and the submitted documents confirm it, and the statute of limitations for collection has not expired.
