Notarial deeds
How many times have you wanted to record an event, a statement or the status of an object, or to notify someone of an issue. The law provides us with notarial deeds to deal with these matters.
At JLA Notarios we adapt to you, stating in the deed what you need and issuing your notifications and requests.
Sworn depositions
Attestation of a declaration made by a person and when they made it.

Shareholder Meeting minutes
Putting on record the representations, claims, documents and decisions taken at a company Shareholders Meeting.
Certificate setting out General Conditions
The notary includes in the deed those contractual conditions that a company includes in its agreements. That way, it is possible to accredit to third parties which conditions are in force at a certain time.
Balance establishment certificates
By making the necessary calculations, the notary accredits the resulting balance of a specific account or debt.
Tender affidavits
These are possibly the most common type. Through the presence of a Notary Public in an insolvency situation, it can be accredited that there were no irregularities in the tender results and as the case may be, the random nature of the decision.
Record keeping affidavits
These are affidavits in which the Notary Public enters into his/her record, the contents of which are secret and cannot be published, any legal and legitimate documents that the interested party wishes to be entered into record.

Notarial earnest money deposit affidavit in a sale-purchase transaction
This type of affidavit accredits that the future buyer of a property has deposited with the Notary Public the earnest money of the future sale, thus allowing the Notary Public to deliver the money to the seller when the deed of sale is signed.
The aim is to avoid risks for the buyer, as the earnest money is delivered to the Notary Public and not to the future seller.
The following documents are required to sign a notarial earnest money deposit affidavit:
- Document identifying the person who will sign the affidavit and, as applicable, the company they represent.
- Delivery of the money to the Notary Public when the affidavit is signed.

You will need the following documents:
- Document identifying the person who will sign the affidavit and, as applicable, the company they represent.

Signature authentication affidavit that generates effects in other countries (Notarial Regulations Article 207)
The affidavit of Article 207 of the Notarial Regulations permits the authentication of a signature on a foreign document which, pursuant to Spanish law, must circulate as a public deed in Spain and as an authentication, according to foreign law.
Consequently, this document may be used in a country whose legislation requires the documentary form of a notarial authentication and the laws of both countries can be complied with.
The following documents are required:
- Document identifying the person who will sign the affidavit and, as applicable, the company they represent.
- Document that must be authenticated.

Depending on each case, the notification can be sent by the Notary Public in person or by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt.

Act of notoriety
An act of notoriety makes it possible to accredit, through notarised channels, a notorious event in order for it to be considered true. The notoriety of an event in a notarial document permits the effects established by law for that event to take place.
One common method in Inheritance Law is the act of notoriety of intestate heirs, which accredits the identity of the heirs of a deceased person who has not made a will.
The following documents are required to sign a notoriety act:
- Document identifying the person who will sign the deed.
- Record of the notoriety of the events. The proof that the event is notorious will depend on each case, but it is necessary for the event to be proven.
With these documents, the JLA Notarios experts can help you get your document signed.
