If you are going to live together or get married, you would be wise to check what the legal consequences of this could be. If you are going to live together without being married, it is advisable to notarize agreements about cohabitation. In this notarial cohabitation contract you record what you agree together about, for example, the costs of the household, the common goods and the (partner) pension. Many pension insurers require a notarial cohabitation contract if the surviving spouse wishes to claim the survivor’s pension of the predeceased partner. If you want to get married but do not want the assets of both of you to automatically become one asset,then prenuptial agreements offer ample opportunity to deviate from this. Drawing up cohabitation contracts and prenuptial agreements is tailor-made. We would be happy to discuss the possibilities with you.

While many only approach a notary towards the end, seeking early advice can be beneficial.

If your home purchase is financed through a mortgage, the bank secures the loan by establishing a mortgage, with the signing of the mortgage deed occurring at the notary.

As an entrepreneur, daily activities often involve drafting, negotiating, and finalizing contracts, bringing you into the realm of contract law or the law of obligations. Contract law governs the formation of agreements, dictating how they are made, and providing recourse if a contractual party fails to fulfill its obligations. The principle of contractual freedom is pivotal, granting you autonomy in determining the content of the agreement and selecting your contracting partner.
Contracts are established through the exchange of offers and acceptance, creating legal obligations for all involved parties. For instance, selling goods to another company obliges you to deliver the goods, while the buyer commits to paying the purchase price. Different types of agreements exist, each subject to specific rules, such as service agreements, construction contracts, sales contracts, or lease agreements, depending on the goods or services involved.
