Can I change my notary?

Do I have the right to change my notary when I have already made a last living gift to him 15 years ago? Do you have to justify this request? Notary David Ambrosiano answers your questions on BFM Business's "Le Club du Droit / Passez-moi le notaire" program.

The answer is yes. Notaries do not own their clients.

That's why it's important to keep a copy of the deed when you sign it. It will always be possible to claim this copy from your former notary. All you need to do is prove your identity.

It's not easy to choose a good notary, we usually ask for a recommendation?

Yes, it's usually word of mouth, and there's a lot of human contact. You need to have a relationship of trust.

What makes a good notary?

In addition to his technical and legal skills, a good notary is essentially a human being who knows how to listen to his clients and advise them.

It's not simply a matter of drawing up a deed and signing it, as in the case of a property sale. It's about getting advice, and above all, personalized advice.
