Our Expertise

Real Estate Law
Real Estate Law
The notary is an expert in real estate law. The law requires that any transaction involving real property rights — that is, rights over the property itself and not just its temporary use (unlike, for example, a simple lease for a maximum of 9 years) — must be carried out with the involvement of a notary. Why? Because legal uncertainty on these matters would lead to constant disputes and numerous legal actions. Real estate ownership must be indisputable and secure.

You can rely on our office for any real estate transaction. Whether it's buying or selling a property (land, house, apartment, or other), executing a mortgage deed, establishing superficies or emphyteusis rights, facilitating an exchange, or handling complex or large-scale projects involving real estate developments, whether dividing developed or undeveloped properties, drafting basic or division deeds, or amending or updating such deeds.
Couple and Family Law
The notary is the specialist in marital and family property law, whether the couple is married or not, and more broadly, family matters. Issues concerning property are sensitive and require professional handling and a keen sense of fairness. Therefore, most agreements in this field can only be legally executed through a notarial act. In this context, the notary ensures the drafting of a fair contract that accurately reflects the parties' intentions and complies with legal requirements in every respect.

Our office assists couples in drafting marriage or legal cohabitation contracts, modifying matrimonial property regimes, making inter-spousal donations, as well as preparing agreements prior to an amicable divorce or separation of unmarried couples. We also provide advice to families on donations, both movable and immovable, and for division operations.
Couple and Family Law
Inheritance Law
Inheritance Law
As frontline legal advisors close to families, the notary assists in various acts, procedures, and formalities required following the death of a parent or loved one. The notary acts as an interface between the deceased's family or heirs and tax authorities, public authorities, banks, creditors, and others, including internationally. Beforehand, the notary offers services to prepare an estate, ensuring its peaceful settlement in accordance with the client's wishes and optimized for tax efficiency.

Whether settling an existing estate or planning for future succession, our office provides tailored services, both civilly and fiscally. This includes estate and succession planning, including assets located abroad, succession agreements, drafting, safekeeping, and depositing wills, inter-spousal donations, gifts to children or third parties, including in tandem, establishing civil or asset-holding companies, and drafting certificates of inheritance and succession.
Corporate and Legal Entities Law
The creation of a legal entity (company, association, or foundation) requires the involvement of a notary only when it benefits from limited liability, meaning the entity is financially independent. This intervention is justified by the need for informed advice, the legal control exercised by the notary (including certification), and the publicity given to acts. This role is essential for ensuring the legal security of operations conducted with or by legal entities.

Our office is at your disposal for the establishment of civil, commercial, or socially oriented companies, amending statutes, including capital increases and reductions, merging or splitting company operations, drafting shareholder agreements or share transfer agreements, liquidating any company, establishing non-profit organizations (ASBL) and international ASBL, private foundations, etc.

Rural Law
Rural Law
Rural law encompasses all specific rules that apply to the agricultural sector. Modern agriculture is a true entrepreneurial activity: we no longer talk about farms but agricultural operations, involving investment strategies, automation, efficiency, specialization, and capital mobilization. The specificity of rural areas justifies the adoption of specific legal provisions known only to specialists in the field.

Our office is competent to address any issue related to agricultural legislation, particularly concerning the application of farm lease laws, one of the most technical aspects of our legal framework. We can negotiate and conclude leases or their termination, notify preemptive rights or their assignment, privileged or non-privileged lease transfers. The notary can also assist with other rural law operations, such as establishing agricultural companies, settling agricultural estates, succession planning, and dividing farming operations, ...
