LK Notaries Final study plan

Draft from memory a one-page map of contract formation under the Civil Code (offer, acceptance, consideration-free causa, capacity, defects of consent) and mark the three points where a notary must verify validity before authenticating.

Solve 20 short hypotheticals on validity and nullity of contracts, writing for each the single legal ground that decides the outcome.

Build a personal glossary of 40 property-law terms (ownership, co-ownership, usufruct, servitude, superficies, possession, registration) with a one-line definition and a practical notarial example for each.

Trace the full lifecycle of a mortgage deed from agreement to registration and list every document the notary must collect at each step.

Compare pledge, mortgage, retention of title and personal guarantee in a four-column table showing creation requirements, publicity, ranking and enforcement route.

Draft a complete model mortgage deed clause by clause, including the secured obligation, the charged asset, the rank, and the enforcement/foreclosure clause.

Work through 15 ranking-and-priority problems (competing mortgagees, privileged creditors, registration timing) and justify each ranking in two sentences.

Identify and write out the notarial formalities that make a security document enforceable, distinguishing what is required for validity from what is required for opposability to third parties.

List the constitutive elements of an authentic deed and, for each element, state the consequence of its omission (nullity, irregularity, loss of enforceability).

Draft two complete notarial deeds end to end: a sale of immovable property and a company incorporation deed, including all recitals, representations and authentication language.

Extract from the company-law rules the notary's verification checklist for incorporation (capital, corporate purpose, management appointment, registered office, beneficiary ownership).

Write a one-page decision tree for identifying the signatory's capacity and authority when the signatory acts for a legal person.

Summarize in writing the notary's core duties (impartiality, independence, advice, confidentiality, refusal of illicit acts) and match each duty to two realistic breach scenarios.

Analyze 10 ethics scenarios and decide for each whether to authenticate, refuse, or postpone, citing the governing duty in one sentence.

Draft a template refusal-of-service note and a template request for additional documents, both in professional register.

Map the disciplinary procedure from complaint to sanction, noting the notary's rights of defence and the record-keeping obligations at each stage.

Diagram the default matrimonial property regime and the two main alternative regimes, showing how assets are classified on dissolution and how a regime change is executed before a notary.

Draft a marriage contract and a donation between spouses, checking each against capacity, form and revocability rules.

Outline the succession process: intestate devolution, testamentary forms, reserved shares, and the notary's role in the declaration and liquidation of the estate.

Compute the transfer-tax and registration-duty consequences of three worked transactions (sale of a home, donation, inheritance) and record the rate, base and deadline for each.

Write the notary's anti-money-laundering workflow as a numbered procedure: client identification, beneficial-owner determination, risk scoring, enhanced due diligence, reporting and record retention.

Apply the workflow to 8 client scenarios and assign each a risk rating with written justification and the required follow-up action.

Design the office's internal controls: client file register, suspicious-transaction escalation path, staff training log, and five-year retention schedule.

Draft the office's written AML policy in no more than two pages, suitable for staff onboarding.

Re-read only your own week 1-5 synthesis sheets and produce a single condensed revision sheet per domain, capping each at one page.

Answer 60 mixed multiple-choice questions across all domains under timed conditions and log every error with its root cause (knowledge gap, misreading, or rule confusion).

Re-teach the three weakest sub-topics aloud from memory, then correct your explanation against the source materials.

Rebuild from memory the tax treatment table for the five most common notarial transactions and check it against your week 5 computations.

Sit two full-length mock exams under exam timing and score them strictly, without consulting notes.

For every missed question in the mocks, write the correct rule and one sentence on why the wrong answer was tempting.

Rehearse the deed-drafting and ethics decision templates under a 20-minute time limit each to confirm recall speed.

Finalize a one-page pre-exam checklist covering deed formalities, ethics triggers, AML red flags and tax deadlines.
