Notary’s legal consulting is compensated by freely fixed fees in compliance with the level of complexity of the issues involved. However, as part of his public service mission, the notary may also provide free advice on simple issues. Moreover, consulting fees in a context of accomplishing regulated mission are ruled by the Tariff regulation and then included in the notarial fees (fixed by law) charged by the notary.
Either way, no fee can be charged without prior acceptance by the client.
