How to Choose a Notary

As is the case with choosing any professional, selecting a Notary to whom you will entrust the care of your interests requires caution.

Contrary to general perception, each Notary has his or her own unique characteristics in terms of intuition, empathy, educational background, professional development, and problem-solving skills.

Therefore, the criteria behind the choice cannot be cost alone. Would you choose your physician for his or her skill or for the fee?

The notary - like the doctor - is entrusted with helping you make important decisions for yourself, your family, and your children; often, decisions that will impact the future strength of relationships and economic assets.
Why then turn to the professional association "Notai Veneziani Riuniti - NVR"?

  1. Conscientiousness
    A conscientious and attentive Notary - sometimes even annoyingly so - is a Notary who will avoid future problems, even years later.
    Only a conscientious and precise notary can be trusted!
  2. Availability
    The notary must also know how to listen effectively, and it is his specific duty to thoroughly investigate and understand the wishes of the parties involved in order to identify the most suitable legal instruments for achieving the desired purposes.
    For us, the customer provides an invaluable source of information that can be very useful in determining the precise solutions required for the specific situation.
    The time that the Notary personally or through his colleagues dedicates to the problem must be taken into consideration when choosing a Notary.
  3. Professionalism and “Word of Mouth”
    Other elements you will need to evaluate are the notary's professionalism, educational background, and resumé.

For each of the Notaries Veneziani Riuniti, you can read their CVs, educational background, length of service, and individual characteristics.
Ask your friends, relatives, and other trusted people for references and opinions on the notary to whom you intend to turn.
In a computerized world, the human aspect still continues to be the cornerstone of any relationship, professional or familial.

  1. Quick and Easy to Contact
    We all live our days in a hurry, often preoccupied with many commitments.
    If you have a notary who allows you to contact him and his firm using state-of-the-art technology - perhaps even exchanging documents digitally - then this is an added value to consider in your choice.

If, however, the notary only requests face-to-face meetings with you to discuss important issues, this could be seen as a lack of respect for your time and requirements.

  1. A professional and competent team
    with a flexible and resilient structure to last for the ages.
    An experienced organization made up of several professionals, which constantly invests resources not only in training and professional development, but also in materials and technologies, is certainly a structure that guarantees reliability and permanence over time.
    Your deeds will be safely stored by Notai Veneziani Riuniti for decades. They will be archived optically, and the original files will be available for any documentary research for years to come!

Even when an associate notary retires, you or you loved ones will still be able to turn to the firm for research and document retrieval without having to search for these documents at the Notarial Archives or other Public Offices.

Access to Public Administration archives - despite digitization - is proving to be particularly complex and slow. With us, however, access to the documents that concern our client and that have been provided to us during the preparation of the deeds (e.g., building permits, building permissions, approvals, etc.) will always be available free of charge, despite the fact that digitization and preservation costs have become a larger part of the cost structure of professional organizations.

This is the strength of a professional firm that transcends the immediate and offers great certainty for the future.
