Un enfoque conceptual e introductorio a la rama del derecho notarial.

Abstract

Notarial Law is a branch of Public Law that will regulate and study the institution of the notary and the public instrument, known as public deed. Notaries are legal professionals who are dedicated to guarantee the legitimacy of the documents in which they intervene and provide legal security and certainty to the acts and facts of which they attest. Notarial services are public and the Notary in Ecuador depends on an administrative control called “Consejo de la Judicatura”, therefore, the notary is considered a public official but for purposes of hiring personnel are private officials. The Notary Law was enacted during the government of Clemente Yerovi Indaburu and is still in force. However, we have special laws that are part of the Notarial Law, for example we have the following: - Childhood and Adolescence Code; - Organic Law of Public Contracting; - Organic Code of Territorial Organization, Autonomy and Decentralization; - Law regulations on sales of goods by legal draw; - Law of Companies; - Code of Commerce; - “LOEPS”; - Regulation of judicial lockers in banks.
