Buying or selling a property is one of the most important financial and personal decisions in the life of an individual, a family, or a business.
ACTŌ supports the parties throughout the entire process, providing notarial advice that begins as early as the preliminary stages of the negotiation, when a preliminary review can help prevent potential issues and enable a more informed negotiation.
The firm conducts the necessary investigations into the legal, cadastral, and zoning status of the property, verifying the continuity of the land registry entries, the presence of any encumbrances, and any other factors relevant to the security of the transaction.
We also assist the parties in defining the most significant contractual aspects—from payment terms to the transfer of the property, as well as compliance with regulatory requirements—ensuring that the deed is properly executed and enforceable against third parties.
Our goal is to provide comprehensive assistance, guided by legal rigor, clarity, and attention to the needs of each client, so that every real estate transaction can proceed smoothly and with full protection of the interests involved.
Once the main terms of the agreement have been defined, the seller and buyer may proceed to sign the preliminary contract, by which they commit to subsequently entering into the final sales contract.
A preliminary contract drawn up by a notary may be registered in the Real Estate Registry. This registration provides an important form of protection for the buyer, as it makes the commitment entered into by the parties enforceable against third parties and protects the buyer from any adverse events that might affect the property or the seller before the final deed is executed.
The decision on whether to proceed with registration must be made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the characteristics of the transaction and the interests of the parties.
The advisability of registering the preliminary contract should be assessed with the notary based on the specific characteristics of the transaction. In general, registration can be particularly useful when:
In most cases, a mortgage is the means by which the purchase of a property is financed or a business project is carried out. The granting of the loan is normally accompanied by the creation of a mortgage to secure the debt.
ACTŌ assists clients, financial institutions, and professionals in drafting loan agreements and handling related transactions, ensuring the proper balance between the parties’ needs and full compliance with applicable regulations.
The firm reviews the necessary documentation, prepares the legal documents, and helps clients understand the contractual terms and the legal implications of the guarantees provided, so that every decision is made with full knowledge of the facts.
We also provide assistance with other transactions related to mortgage-backed loans, including subrogation, cancellations, encumbrances, and discharges, ensuring comprehensive support throughout every stage of the relationship.
ACTŌ also assists clients and professionals in drafting additional legal documents concerning real estate and real rights, including donations, exchanges, divisions, and settlements, offering notarial advice aimed at identifying the legal solution best suited to the specific needs of the parties.
Every real estate transaction also involves significant tax implications, which require careful evaluation from the very beginning.
ACTŌ assists clients and professionals in determining the correct tax treatment of notarial deeds, clearly explaining the tax implications of various legal options and assessing the possibility of benefiting from the tax breaks provided for under current legislation.
The goal is to enable the parties to make fully informed decisions, in compliance with the law and with the assurance that tax regulations will be properly applied.
