This course subject covers the legal rules which the notary practice and legal advice seeker are confronted with when property law claims unfold in an international context. Aside from the summary of the general principles and concepts of international private law, and an analysis of the competencies of the notary, more diverse international private law themes will be covered which are important for the notary practice; such as marriage with its primary and secondary consequences, the relationship of living together, divorce, inheritance (intestate inheritance and testamentary inheritance), contractual commitments (sales – donation - power of attorney) and legal persons. Finally, attention will be given to acknowledgement and implementation of notary deeds and the notarial competencies of non-notaries (consuls, etc.).
