Flagship notarial services
Company formation and changes
Are you forming a company, changing a managing director or transferring an ownership interest? We will assess the required form of the documents, prepare a notarial deed where the law requires it or where you choose it, and verify whether the registration in the Commercial Register (Obchodný register) can be carried out by the notary as registrar.

Buying and selling real estate and notarial custody (escrow)
Are you buying or selling a flat, a house or land? We will prepare the contract and, if agreed, also the application for registration in the land registry (kataster). The purchase price can be protected by notarial custody (escrow), from which the money is released only in the manner and upon fulfilment of the conditions set out in the custody deed.

Gift of real estate
Are you giving a house, a flat or land to your children or loved ones? We will prepare the deed of gift and, if agreed, also the application for registration in the land registry (kataster). If it corresponds to the parties' wishes, an easement can be created together with the gift, for example a right of lifelong residence and use.

Inheritance (probate) proceedings
We conduct inheritance proceedings as judicial commissioners authorised by the court. In a difficult life situation, we will help you find your way through the court process. We will go through all the steps of the proceedings with you, up to the issue of the inheritance order.

Fees
The price is set by decree — not by agreement
The notary's fee and reimbursements are determined under Decree No. 31/1993 Coll. The final amount depends on the type and value of the act, its complexity and the circumstances of its performance. It usually consists of:
- the notary's fee — a fixed amount for some acts, for others based on the value of the subject of the act (for example custody of the purchase price),
- reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses and, where applicable, compensation for loss of time,
- VAT and separate court or administrative fees, if payable in the given matter.
We will tell you the specific amount in advance at a consultation, based on your case — before you decide.
Frequently asked questions
Most frequent questions
Short, factual answers to what clients ask most often. Questions about a specific situation can be found on its page.
Do I have to come in person?
For most notarial acts, personal attendance is necessary — the notary must verify your identity and satisfy themselves that you understand what you are signing. For a specific act, we will tell you in advance who must attend and what to bring.
In what languages can you serve me?
We can communicate in Slovak, Hungarian, Serbo-Croatian, Russian and English — we will explain legal terms in a language you understand. The notarial document itself, however, is drawn up in the official state language, and depending on the type of act and the participant's language skills, an interpreter or an official translation may be required; we will confirm in advance what will be needed in your case.
How much will it cost?
The notary's fee and reimbursements are determined under Decree No. 31/1993 Coll. — what the amount consists of is explained in the Fees section above. Before the act, we will explain the expected items for your case.
What if I lose my notarial deed?
The first copy of the notarial deed (the original, signed instrument) remains permanently deposited with the notary; you receive a certified copy of it. If you lose your copy, the notary can issue you another certified copy from the deposited original. Contact us and we will tell you what will be needed for its issue.
What if a mistake happens? Is the notary insured?
By law, the notary is liable for damage caused in the performance of notarial activities and, for this purpose, must by law hold liability insurance. Whether and to what extent specific damage is compensated depends on an assessment of the case under the law. If compensation could not be obtained from the insurer or from the notary, the state is liable for it under statutory conditions.
