Notary Dispute Committee declares complaint unfounded
(Candidate) civil-law notaries are subject to disciplinary law. They must be able to justify their actions before the "Chamber for the Notary." This disciplinary court issues a ruling, in short, on whether a civil-law notary acted in accordance with the rules that apply to their profession ("as befits a civil-law notary"). In over 30 years, our civil-law notary has never had to answer to a disciplinary court. No disciplinary complaint has ever been filed against him.
We have a complaints procedure. Such a complaint can, for example, concern the amount of the invoice. If a complainant cannot reach an agreement with the civil-law notary, they can submit the (non-disciplinary) complaint to the Notary Disputes Committee. This has only happened four times in the past 33 years at our civil-law notary. In all four of those cases, the Disputes Committee deemed the complaint unfounded. In the fourth and final case, the Disputes Committee issued a decision on August 22, 2025, and the ruling was sent to the complainant and the civil-law notary on October 17, 2025.
Some complainants – unhindered by any knowledge – attach more value to their own judgment than to that of the Disputes Committee, the disciplinary judge or the civil court and often vent their anger, sometimes under a fake profile, by way of a review on Google.
Read below about the Disputes Committee's decision and how we handle such unfair reviews.

Notary, can't it be cheaper?
We're sometimes asked if it couldn't be cheaper... " because all you have to do is sign a standard deed that you can just pull out of the printer... "
Vicious little yapper or loyal top dog?

Enjoy the beautiful summer weather
It's hitting 27 degrees Celsius today. Beautiful summer weather to get outside. To the park or the woods, to the beach, to a nice patio, or maybe even to a barbecue in the garden. With an ice cream or a nice cold drink. Enjoy it. And also use the moment for some reflection.
My Show Care | Boney M.
Yesterday, the MyShow Talents foundation was established at our office.
It's an initiative of Maureen Fernandes. Maureen has been a professional artist for over 30 years. She performed with Bobby Farrell for over five years as a singer with Boney M. and later in the Boney M. Xperience. For our notary, Boney M., with mega-hits like Ma Baker, Rivers of Babylon, Daddy Cool, and Rasputin, is a sweet nostalgia.
