Why a notary cannot register what they prepared themselves
Among the provisions of the new Commercial Register Act is one that may at first seem like an unnecessary complication: a notary who prepared your registration documents cannot register your matter in the Commercial Register. This rule, however, is based on a specific experience, and its purpose is to protect the very person it appears to restrict.
Transformations of commercial companies and the form of the transformation plan
The merger of two companies, the separation of part of a business or a change of legal form have been governed since 1 March 2024 by Act No. 309/2023 Coll. on Transformations of Commercial Companies and Cooperatives. This legislation brought together provisions previously scattered throughout the Commercial Code and introduced a formal requirement whose omission can disrupt the entire transaction timetable.
Notarial escrow of the purchase price when transferring a business share
Notarial escrow of money is discussed in Slovakia almost exclusively in connection with property transfers. Yet it addresses the same problem when a business share is transferred, usually involving considerably larger sums and greater uncertainty for both parties.
Advance payment for liquidation and notarial escrow
Dissolving a company today is administratively more demanding than establishing one. One of the first requirements is to deposit an advance payment for liquidation in notarial escrow, even before the company’s entry into liquidation and the identity of the liquidator are entered in the Commercial Register.
Inheritance of a business interest and succession in a company
Planning for succession is among the matters business owners put off, reasoning that there is still time. Yet one sentence in the company's articles of association and one document drawn up by a notary are enough to prevent the company from remaining in legal uncertainty for months after a shareholder's death.
Notarial record of the proceedings of a general meeting
Most general meetings proceed without difficulty, and one of the shareholders prepares the minutes. But then comes a meeting at which the shareholders disagree — and suddenly it becomes crucial who was present, how their identity was verified, how they voted and exactly what was adopted.
Power of attorney for the transfer of vehicle registration
The transfer of vehicle registration is usually attended by both the current and the new registered holder. However, this cannot always be arranged — and instead of the difficult task of finding a mutually convenient time, a power of attorney will suffice. Its requirements are stricter than most people expect, and failure to meet any one of them means that the Police Force authority will not accept the document.
Transferring vehicle registration in practice
Buying and selling a used vehicle is a common transaction today. However, the procedure for transferring a vehicle’s registration has changed so much in recent years that the process many people remember no longer applies — one of the two visits to the authority has been eliminated, the registration number stays with the vehicle, and the administrative fee is calculated in an entirely different way.
Will
A deceased person’s last wishes are best respected by making a will. A will is a legal act in which the testator appoints an heir, specifies shares or determines the rights in rem to pass to the heirs. When making a will, you should bear in mind the formal requirements it must meet in order to be valid and accepted.
