Prenuptial agreements, divorce settlement agreements, and adoption proceedings.
Family law agreements often require notarial certification to be legally effective. This applies to prenuptial agreements, divorce settlement agreements, and adoption proceedings.
We ensure that all parties are comprehensively informed about the legal implications and that the agreements are tailored to the individual circumstances.
We discuss your personal and financial situation and your wishes for the agreement.
We explain the statutory default rules and the available options for contractual modification.
We prepare the draft agreement and send it to all parties for review.
The agreement is read aloud, discussed if necessary, and signed by all parties.
Notary fees for family law agreements are determined by the Court and Notary Fees Act (GNotKG) and are based on the transaction value. This depends on the spouses' assets and on the content of the deed – each additional provision increases the value, and an included separation of property doubles it. If the agreement modifies the statutory marital property regime (e.g. by agreeing separation of property), the deed is additionally registered in the Central Register of Wills as an inheritance-relevant document.
A binding cost estimate is usually not possible in advance; the consultation itself already incurs fees. We are happy to discuss the expected costs with you.
We are happy to arrange a personal consultation for your notarial matter. Please contact us by phone or email.
Notarial official activities are subject to the statutory fees under the German Court and Notary Costs Act (GNotKG). A free initial assessment does not apply to notarial official activities.
