Family businesses

What are family businesses in the notarial field?

Family businesses are those that affect the personal and family spheres of individuals.

What types of family businesses can I formalize at a Public Notary?

Below, we detail the most common ones:

Since the entry into force of the Voluntary Jurisdiction Law, you can get married directly before a Public Notary, without going through the civil registry or the court. It is a legal, quick ceremony with full legal effects.

When there are no unemancipated minor children or dependents, the divorce or separation can be carried out before a public notary. Both parties must be assisted by a lawyer. The procedure is quick and confidential.

Although it depends on regional regulations, the formalization of a common-law partnership is an essential step taken by people who live stably as a couple and do not intend to marry. It entails the attribution of a series of rights and obligations, and allows them to agree on all the personal effects derived from cohabitation, as well as property or economic effects, even in the event of a breakup.

These are agreements in which the spouses or contracting parties establish their financial regime (joint property, separation of assets, etc.) and agree on any other related provisions. They are executed before a notary and can be modified at any time.

A legal tool to protect assets and rights intended for people with disabilities. It allows parents or guardians to establish an estate that will have favorable tax treatment and enhanced protection.

In anticipation of future incapacity, you can execute a notarized document appointing a guardian or curator.

What documentation will I need to sign?
