The donation notarial deed is an important act, both for the donor(s) (the one(s) giving) and the donee(s) (the one(s) receiving).
It always formalizes a special relationship between these individuals. For this reason, the law assigns a particular significance to the donation deed in French law.
As it involves an important legal commitment, the french legislator has established the public notary, an expert legal professional in this field, as the only authorized professional to receive donation deeds.
