The nature and difference between property law versus contract law in light of the role of the notary when dealing with property related contracts

Abstract

The legal professions’ first wave of where property and contract rights are formed is the office of the notary. As a result, it is imperative in having competent notaries so that the other subsequent legal professions are not effected by the bad practice of the notaries. There is a conceptual difference between the law of property versus the law of contract. This has not been amplified throughout the law course and it is necessary to understand it since it permeates in almost every subject. As a result, a discussion of such difference will be provided, whilst at the back of the mind, one is to keep the functions of the notary. Moreover, a list of fields of law of where this difference gathers pace will be provided. The combination of such aims should explain why civil law is heavily depended on the competence of the notary.
