Download or read book Spanish Law for Notaries written by Javier Perez-Manglano and published by . This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish Law for Notaries offers a general overview of the Spanish legal system, concentrating on those areas of the law which often require the involvement of notaries in England and Wales.Looking first at the essential principles of areas such as family, succession, property, contract and company law, the second part of the book then offers a more practical guide, focusing on documentation and specific transactions. This is complemented by a selection of sample notarial acts presented as bilingual appendices.Covering topics as varied as the description of the different systems of matrimonial property, the requirements for the execution of a will, the incorporation and registration of companies, the process to obtain birth certificates and the steps to revoke powers of attorney, the aim of this book is to provide the English or Welsh notary with a reference guide to all those areas and aspects of Spanish law which can be relevant to notarial practice.Since the publication of the first edition, it has become apparent that this book also serves as a valuable reference guide for legal translators working in the Spanish to English language combination, and vice versa, as it offers a useful comparative approach to the analysis of the different areas of the Spanish legal system, discussing the similarities and differences between some Spanish and English legal concepts, discussing some specific terminology and translation issues and including short glossaries at the end of each chapter in addition to the collection of bilingual sample documents included as appendices.
Download or read book Indiana Notary Public Guide written by Indiana Secretary of State and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-04-06 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A notary is a public official responsible for independently verifying signatures and oaths. Depending on how a document is written, a notarization serves to affirm the identity of a signer and the fact that they personally executed their signature. A notarization, or notarial act, officially documents the identity of a party to a document or transaction and the occasion of the signing that others can rely upon, usually at face value. A notary's authentication is intended to be reliable, to avoid the inconvenience of having to locate a signer to have them personally verify their signature, as well as to document the execution of a document perhaps long after the lifetime of the signer and the notary. An oath is a sworn statement. In most cases a person will swear that a written statement, oral statement, or testimony they are about to give is true. A notary can document that the notary administered an oath to an individual.

Download or read book The Making of a Market written by Juliette Levy and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century, Yucat&án moved effectively from its colonial past into modernity, transforming from a cattle-ranching and subsistence-farming economy to a booming export-oriented agricultural economy. Yucat&án and its economy grew in response to increasing demand from the United States for henequen, the local cordage fiber. This henequen boom has often been seen as another regional and historical example of overdependence on foreign markets and extortionary local elites. In The Making of a Market, Juliette Levy argues instead that local social and economic dynamics are the root of the region&’s development. She shows how credit markets contributed to the boom before banks (and bank crises) existed and how people borrowed before the creation of institutions designed specifically to lend. As the intermediaries in this lending process, notaries became unwitting catalysts of Yucat&án&’s capitalist transformation. By focusing attention on the notaries&’ role in structuring the mortgage market rather than on formal institutions such as banks, this study challenges the easy compartmentalization of local and global relationships and of economic and social relationships.
Download or read book New Developments in the Spanish Law of Succession written by Sergio Cámara Lapuente and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent legislative reforms of law of succession in Spain affecting both the Spanish Civil Code (mainly from 2003) and the six civil laws of the Autonomous Communities (including changes in 2006-2007 in Galician law) give rise to a need to revaluate and reassess some of its central features. This reassessment should, consider not only changes arising from legislative intervention, but also from case law and everyday practice, as these reveal new trends in a number of areas including the legal position of widows and widowers, the rights of unmarried couples when one of them deceases (with very different approaches depending on the Spanish regions), the impact of marital crises on succession, the formal requirements of wills, the validity of inheritance agreements, estate planning, substitutes for testaments, succession of family businesses and enterprises, and the scope of a testator's freedom of disposition and the role of the forced share (on which there is an intense debate).This study explains these developments taking into account those three sources (legislation, case law and practice) and provides both an up-to-date summary of the existing legal framework and some reflections on the future based on recent proposals for further reform suggested by scholars and notaries. Finally, the experience of the Spanish jurisdiction, which comprises seven different laws of succession within one legal system, also allows observations to be made as the role of comparative law in legal development and the possibilities of harmonising law of succession in the European Union.

Download or read book Idaho Notary Public Handbook written by Idaho Secretary of State and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-04-06 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everybody knows what a notary public does, right? Actually, there is much misunderstanding and confusion about what the proper role and duty of a notary is. A notary public does not "legalize" documents, or verify the accuracy or truthfulness of the content or statements made in a document, and yet the role that a notary plays in ascertaining the identity of the person who signs a document, placing that person under oath, if required, and determining the signer's intent and willingness to consent to the transaction is vital in modern society. A notary public is a public official commissioned by the Secretary of State to administer oaths and affirmations, take acknowledgments, witness signatures, and perform other duties as permitted by state law. A notary should be familiar with the Idaho notary laws and to follow the standards of reasonable care for performing a notarial act.

Download or read book Contract Law in Spain written by Antoni Vaquer and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2022-06-20 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of the law of contracts in Spain covers every aspect of the subject – definition and classification of contracts, contractual liability, relation to the law of property, good faith, burden of proof, defects, penalty clauses, arbitration clauses, remedies in case of non-performance, damages, power of attorney, and much more. Lawyers who handle transnational contracts will appreciate the explanation of fundamental differences in terminology, application, and procedure from one legal system to another, as well as the international aspects of contract law. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes drafting considerations. An introduction in which contracts are defined and contrasted to torts, quasi-contracts, and property is followed by a discussion of the concepts of ‘consideration’ or ‘cause’ and other underlying principles of the formation of contract. Subsequent chapters cover the doctrines of ‘relative effect’, termination of contract, and remedies for non-performance. The second part of the book, recognizing the need to categorize an agreement as a specific contract in order to determine the rules which apply to it, describes the nature of agency, sale, lease, building contracts, and other types of contract. Facts are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for business and legal professionals alike. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Spain will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative contract law.

Download or read book Distance and Documents at the Spanish Empire s Periphery written by Sylvia Sellers-García and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Empire is famous for being, at its height, the realm upon which "the sun never set." It stretched from the Philippines to Europe by way of the Americas. And yet we know relatively little about how Spain managed to move that crucial currency of governance—paper—over such enormous distances. Moreover, we know even less about how those distances were perceived and understood by people living in the empire. This book takes up these unknowns and proposes that by examining how documents operated in the Spanish empire, we can better understand how the empire was built and, most importantly, how knowledge was created. The author argues that even in such a vast realm, knowledge was built locally by people who existed at the peripheries of empire. Organized along routes and centralized into local nodes, peripheral knowledge accumulated in regional centers before moving on to the heart of the empire in Spain. The study takes the Kingdom of Guatemala as its departure point and examines the related aspects of documents and distance in three sections: part one looks at document genre, and how the creation of documents was shaped by distance; part two looks at the movement of documents and the workings of the mail system; part three looks at document storage and how archives played an essential part in the flow of paper.
