Notarial Services

Under Tunisian law, lawyers hold essential notarial powers: drafting and authenticating legal deeds. Our firm brings this expertise to bear in securing your transactions.

The Notarial Role of Lawyers in Tunisia

In Tunisia, unlike certain legal systems where the notary is a separate profession, lawyers are empowered to draft and authenticate legal deeds. Under Law No. 2011-79 of August 20, 2011, governing the legal profession, our firm fully exercises this notarial function for the benefit of its clients.

This notarial competence gives the deeds drafted by the lawyer evidentiary force and, in certain cases, enforceable force, making them an indispensable instrument for securing contractual commitments and transactions.

Deed and Contract Drafting

Our firm drafts all the legal instruments required for the civil and commercial life of our clients. Each deed is crafted with precision to faithfully reflect the intent of the parties, in compliance with the Code of Obligations and Contracts (COC) and current Tunisian legislation.

  • Real estate and movable property sale contracts
  • Promises to sell and preliminary agreements
  • Lease agreements (residential and commercial)
  • Company articles and share transfer deeds
  • Loan agreements and debt acknowledgments
  • Various conventions between individuals or professionals

Authentication and Legalization

Authentication of deeds by the lawyer guarantees their legal compliance and enforceability against third parties. Our firm verifies the identity of the parties, checks their legal capacity, and certifies the regularity of the deed.

  • Signature authentication
  • Certified true copies of documents
  • Legalization of deeds for use in Tunisia and abroad
  • Diplomatic legalization and consular formalities

Powers of Attorney and Mandates

A power of attorney is a deed by which a person grants another the authority to act on their behalf. Our firm drafts general and special powers of attorney tailored to each client's specific needs: property management, court representation, banking or administrative operations.

  • General and special powers of attorney
  • Property management mandates
  • Powers of attorney for banking operations
  • Authorizations for representation before government agencies

Real Estate Deeds

Real estate transactions in Tunisia require deeds drafted with particular care, whether for registered land at the land registry or unregistered property. Our firm drafts sale, donation, partition, and exchange deeds, and assists clients with registration formalities at the Land Conservation Office (CPF).

  • Real estate sale and transfer deeds
  • Donation and partition deeds
  • Entries and cancellations at the land registry
  • Formalities with the tax office (fiscal registration)

Corporate Deeds and Business Law

The creation, modification, and dissolution of commercial companies require properly drafted deeds. Our firm supports entrepreneurs and companies in all legal formalities related to their business activities.

  • Company articles of association (SARL, SA, SUARL, SNC)
  • Minutes of general assemblies
  • Share and equity transfer deeds
  • Statutory amendments and capital increases

Wills and Last Wishes

Wills, recognized under Tunisian law within the framework of the Personal Status Code, allow individuals to organize the transfer of their estate within the limits set by law. Our firm assists clients in drafting wills that comply with current legislation, ensuring adherence to Tunisian succession rules.

  • Will drafting
  • Estate planning advice
