Family Law

Our notar­i­al prac­tice in fam­i­ly law mat­ters has a spe­cial focus on mar­riage con­tracts. This includes pre­cau­tion­ary agree­ments before a mar­riage or con­clud­ed dur­ing an intact mar­riage, as well as cri­sis mar­riage con­tracts, which spous­es only enter into in sit­u­a­tions in which a mar­riage is fac­ing a cri­sis. But also sep­a­ra­tion and divorce agree­ments are reg­u­lar­ly sub­jects of our notar­i­al prac­tice in the field of fam­i­ly law.

An addi­tion­al focus of our notaries’ activ­i­ties lies in the bor­der­line area between fam­i­ly law and inher­i­tance law: cer­ti­fi­ca­tion of pow­ers of attor­ney and liv­ing wills. Even though this ser­vice is now offered by a wide vari­ety of providers such as banks, hos­pi­tals or char­i­ta­ble organ­i­sa­tions, pow­ers of attor­ney cer­ti­fied by a notary pub­lic in par­tic­u­lar offer clear advan­tages over dec­la­ra­tions from such insti­tu­tions. Final­ly, our notary publics are avail­able when it comes to any and all issues involv­ing adop­tion — regard­less of whether the par­ties involved wish to adopt a minor or an adult.
