L’acte notarié doit être clair et complet, de manière que les parties puissent en comprendre le contenu et les effets juridiques. Par conséquent, dans la rédaction des actes notariés il faut éviter les termes (mots) et clauses de style ne correspondant pas à une réelle volonté des parties ou n’ayant pas un sens juridique précis. En outre, en choisissant les termes à employer, il faut autant que possible donner la préférence, quand bien même en respectant la précision du langage juridique,

Fluctuations in the cost of money may, in some cases, make it advisable to “make running changes” to the terms of a mortgage: such changes, in economics, are known as renegotiation. There are various legal methods for achieving this: a) discharge of the old home loan and granting of new financing with a new mortgage (“replacement” home loan); b) merely changing the terms of the old home loan (renegotiation in the strictest sense); c) from 2 February 2007, subrog

In a property conveyance, right from what we have called the preparatory phase before the definitive contract, the notary plays a rather delicate and important role: determining whether in fact the vendor is free to sell the asset and whether the purchaser in his turn may legitimately acquire it. For example - to cite just a few of the more important aspects - the notary's tasks include certifying the personal identity of the parties (in other words that the vendor and hence the owner of

Lors d’une transaction immobilière, dès ce que nous avons défini comme les phases préliminaires à l’acte définitif, le notaire joue un rôle plutôt délicat et important: il doit vérifier qu’effectivement le vendeur peut vendre librement ce bien et que l’acquéreur pour sa part peut l’acquérir en toute légitimité. Par exemple – et juste pour évoquer certains des aspects les plus importants – le notaire a la fonction de garantir la certitude de l’identité des personnes qui sont parties (en d’

Il doit s’agir d’un bien immobilier destiné à l’habitation et de ses annexes (box, caves, etc…). Comme l’administration des finances l’a confirmé (Telefisco 2006), ce régime favorable est étendu aux dépendances sans limitation de leur nombre, et cela également si elles ont été acquises séparément du bien principal, à condition que dans l’acte d’achat la destination comme annexe soit mentionnée. Le système s’applique aussi aux achats d’habitations et leurs dépendances qui ne peuvent pas bé

If a married person wishes to sell a property, it is necessary to check whether or not the consent of the other spouse is needed; If a minor or a person not of sound mind is the owner of an asset, a judge's authorization is needed for the sale as well as the intervention of that person's tutor or parent or legal representative; the same thing applies for a purchase by such persons; If an inherited asset is the common property of several heirs, before selling his share an heir must firs

Limited partners are excluded, in principle, from managing the company.However, they may negotiate or conclude individual deals on behalf of the company, providing they have received a specific proxy or authorisation empowering them to do so.Each limited partner is responsible for social security liabilities in a degree that is proportionate to the contribution they made to the company. Accordingly he/she does not assume any other risks, except that of losing the value of the capital he/she

From the historic and regulatory point of view, the joint-stock company is the prototype of the company with share capital whose body of rules apply to the limited partnerships with share capital (s.a.p.a.), with which it is compatible, and in some respects they are very close to the rules that govern the limited liability company, which however makes little reference to the rules on joint-stock companies, which consequently do not directly apply. The joint-stock company (s.p.a.) differs fro

Informal partnerships are the most elementary form of enterprise.The fundamental characteristic of an informal partnership is that the scope of its activities is limited to non-commercial profit-making economic activities.The scope of an informal partnership may therefore include:- agricultural activities, with certain limitations because:   the purpose of the enterprise cannot be merely that of using assets, but must consist in the joint operation of a business activity;  taci

It is extremely simple to set up an informal partnership:- the contract needs not be of any special type, except where special types of assets are involved (and except for evidentiary limitations);- all that is needed to set up an informal partnership is the mutual engagement by the partners to jointly carry out a non-commercial profit-making activity;- informal partnerships must be entered into the register of companies. Such registration takes place in a special section and does not imply
