One of the elements of the legal system of the state are notaries. With their help, citizens, as well as legal entities can protect their interests regarding property rights, the accuracy of the transfer and many other issues. Notaries can be both public and private.
General characteristics
The activities of private and public notaries are regulated by the same legislative norms. This type of activity is closely monitored by the state. A notary is required to have a license authorizing this activity, as well as pass a specialized exam confirming the level of qualification. Despite the same requirements from the state, more competent specialists are more often found among private notaries who will provide qualified assistance in protecting interests.
According to the current legislation, private and public notaries have the same rights to carry out notarial actions. The difference is only in registration of inheritance rights, which, with rare exceptions, is the prerogative of state notaries. The remaining types of operations can be executed by any specialist, regardless of whether he is private or public.
