Sworn Translations

PATIENCE IS NOT THE ABILITY TO WAIT, BUT THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN A GOOD ATTITUDE WHILE WAITING.

BE HAPPY, IT DRIVES PEOPLE CRAZY.

IN DARK TIMES, GOOD PEOPLE SHINE.

SOMETIMES THINGS COME WHEN YOU STOP LOOKING. WHAT IS FOR YOU, NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY FROM YOU.

DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

DON'T BE TOLD THAT THE SKY IS THE LIMIT WHEN THERE ARE FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON.

POTHOLES ARE ALSO PART OF THE ROAD.

THE ONLY IMPOSSIBLE THING IS WHAT YOU DON'T TRY.

COMFORT KILLS PROGRESS.

IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE DIFFERENT, NEVER CHANGE.

HE WHO DID NOT WANT TO WHEN HE COULD, WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WHEN HE WANTS TO... ATTESTED: THE OPPORTUNITY.

IF IT DOESN'T ADD UP, DON'T SUBTRACT.

THE ONLY PLACE WHERE "SUCCESS" COMES BEFORE "WORK" IS IN THE DICTIONARY.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO BE DIFFERENT, BE AFRAID TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

NO ONE IS LIKE YOU AND THAT IS YOUR POWER.

YOU MUST NOT SET LIMITS ON ANYTHING. THE MORE YOU DREAM, THE FURTHER YOU GO.

WORTH THE JOY AND NOT THE PAIN.

LIFE IS NOT MEASURED IN MINUTES , IT IS MEASURED IN MOMENTS.

GRATITUDE IS THE ART OF ATTRACTING GOOD THINGS.

A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY LOST.

DO YOU TAKE ANYTHING TO BE HAPPY? YES, DECISIONS.

WE DON'T ALWAYS GET WHAT WE WANT, BUT SOONER OR LATER LIFE GIVES US WHAT WE DESERVE.

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN DREAMS AND REALITY IS CALLED DISCIPLINE.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK WHEN YOU LOSE INTEREST IN LOOKING BACK.

IT IS EASY TO BE HAPPY, WHAT IS DIFFICULT IS TO BE SIMPLE.

DON'T BE THE SAME AS THE REST.

DON'T ASK PERMISSION: THE WINGS ARE YOURS AND THE SKY BELONGS TO NO ONE.

IF YOU DON'T GO FOR EVERYTHING , WHAT DO YOU GO FOR?

IT IS BETTER TO HAVE SCARS FOR BRAVERY THAN INTACT SKIN FOR COWARDICE.

IT IS NOT THE ONE WHO GOES FASTER WHO GETS THERE FIRST, BUT THE ONE WHO KNOWS WHERE HE IS GOING.

LOVING YOURSELF IS THE FIRST STEP TO HAPPINESS.

CONFORMITY IS THE JAILER OF FREEDOM AND THE ENEMY OF GROWTH.

UNDERSTANDING IS IMPORTANT, BUT FEELING IS MAGICAL.

ONE OF THE BEST FEELINGS IN THE WORLD IS TO SEE SOMEONE SMILE AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE REASON.

I LIKE IT WHEN YOU SMILE, BUT I LOVE IT WHEN I'M THE REASON.

WHO HAS MAGIC... DOESN'T NEED TRICKS.

IT TAKES TWO YEARS TO LEARN TO SPEAK AND SIXTY TO LEARN TO BE SILENT.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHO YOU ARE AND WHO YOU WANT TO BE IS WHAT YOU DO.

LIFE TEACHES YOU WHO IS, WHO MAYBE, WHO MAYBE NOT AND WHO NEVER.

THE TASTE OF LIFE DEPENDS ON WHO TASTES IT.

GENIUS IS 1% INSPIRATION AND 99% PERSPIRATION.

THE PESSIMIST COMPLAINS ABOUT THE WIND; THE OPTIMIST HOPES IT WILL CHANGE, THE REALIST ADJUSTS THE SAILS.

GOOD PREPARATION SOONER OR LATER MEETS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO TURN INTO SUCCESS.

YOU BECOME THE PEOPLE YOU SPEND THE MOST TIME WITH. CHOOSE THEM WISELY.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT SHINING, IT'S ABOUT HELPING OTHERS SHINE WITH YOU.

HELP ME TO SPEAK THE TRUTH BEFORE THE STRONG AND NOT TO TELL LIES TO WIN THE APPLAUSE OF THE WEAK.

ASK YOURSELF IF WHAT YOU ARE DOING TODAY IS GETTING YOU CLOSER TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE TOMORROW.

GIVE EVERY DAY THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.

LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS, BUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.

BE HAPPY, SO MUCH SO THAT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY.

IT'S NOT ABOUT LIVING, IT'S ABOUT FEELING ALIVE.

TODAY'S TASK: LISTEN TO MUSIC, SAY THANK YOU, LAUGH OUT LOUD, GIVE A GOOD KISS, GIVE A HUG. REPEAT MANY TIMES.

THE SMALLEST ACTION IS BETTER THAN THE GREATEST INTENTION.

MOTIVATION: IS WHAT GETS YOU STARTED. HABIT: IS WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING.

OPPORTUNITIES MULTIPLY AS THEY ARE TAKEN.

NEVER STOP, NEVER SETTLE, UNTIL THE GOOD IS BETTER AND THE BEST IS EXCELLENT.

I LIKE PEOPLE WHO SPEAK CLEARLY, NOT PRETTY.

HAVING A PURPOSE AWAKENS THE SENSES.

THE PESSIMIST SEES THE GLASS AS HALF EMPTY, THE OPTIMIST SEES THE GLASS AS HALF FULL AND THE ENTREPRENEUR GOES IN SEARCH OF MORE WATER.

CREATIVE IS NOT THE ONE WHO IMAGINES, BUT THE ONE WHO MAKES IMAGINE.

YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU DO TODAY, NOT TOMORROW.

INTELLIGENCE IS THE ABILITY TO ADAPT TO CHANGE.

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE ANYTHING IF YOUR ENTHUSIASM HAS NO LIMITS.

OBSERVE, LISTEN, BE QUIET, JUDGE LITTLE AND ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

HE WHO WANTS TO EXCEL, DOES NOT SEE OBSTACLES, HE SEES DREAMS.

TIME DOES NOT ERASE, IT LOCATES.

I ALSO BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST LAUGH.

INSIST, PERSIST, RESIST AND NEVER GIVE UP.

WHEN THE MOST DIFFICULT TRIALS OF MY LIFE COME, I WILL LOOK AT THEM WITH A SMILE. AND I WILL SAY TO THEM: "I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU".

LITTLE BY LITTLE A LITTLE BIT BECOMES A LOT.

THE ONLY WAY TO DO A GREAT JOB IS TO LOVE WHAT YOU DO.

A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP.

THE WORD CONVINCES, BUT THE EXAMPLE DRAGS.

ONLY ONE THING MAKES A DREAM IMPOSSIBLE: THE FEAR OF FAILURE.

ELIMINATE FROM YOUR LIFE EVERYTHING THAT CAUSES YOU STRESS AND TAKES AWAY YOUR SMILE.

A SUCCESSFUL MIND TURNS ITS PROBLEMS INTO CHALLENGES, NEVER OBSTACLES.

THEY SAY THAT THE BEST PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE WITHOUT LOOKING FOR THEM.

DO IT NOW, SOMETIMES "LATER" BECOMES "NEVER".

DON'T TURN A BAD MOMENT INTO A BAD DAY.

SUCCESS IS THE SUM OF SMALL EFFORTS REPEATED DAY AFTER DAY.

WHAT TODAY SEEMS CRAZY, TOMORROW WILL BE ONE OF YOUR BEST MEMORIES.

IT IS DIFFICULT TO DEFEAT A PERSON WHO NEVER GIVES UP.

TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS TO BE NO ONE.

WHAT IS FOR ONE EVENTUALLY ARRIVES, AND WHAT IS NOT , TIME ITSELF TAKES IT AWAY.

YOUR BELIEFS DON'T MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON, YOUR ACTIONS DO.

IF YOU GIVE A LOT, IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE A LOT. NO ONE GIVES WHAT THEY DON'T HAVE.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT WITH PASSION.

HAPPINESS IS ACHIEVED WHEN WHAT ONE THINKS, WHAT ONE SAYS AND WHAT ONE DOES ARE IN HARMONY.

THE SECRET IS IN THE DESIRE.

MATURING IS TAKING CARE OF WHAT YOU SAY, RESPECTING WHAT YOU LISTEN TO AND MEDITATING ON WHAT YOU DO NOT SAY.

SOMETIMES YOU WILL HAVE TO LET GO OF CERTAIN THINGS IN ORDER FOR BETTER THINGS TO COME ALONG.

IT'S NOT THE APPEARANCE, IT'S THE ESSENCE. IT'S NOT THE MONEY, IT'S THE EDUCATION. IT'S NOT THE CLOTHES, IT'S THE CLASS.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH SOMEONE WHO TREATS YOU LIKE A NORMAL PERSON?

LEARN HOW TO SHUT YOUR MOUTH WITHOUT HAVING TO OPEN YOUR OWN.

BE YOURSELF, ALL OTHER POSITIONS ARE FILLED.

ENJOY, NOTHING IS FOREVER.

STAY WITH THE ONE WHO TURNS YOUR FEARS INTO CHALLENGES.

TELL ME AND I FORGET, TEACH ME AND I REMEMBER, INVOLVE ME AND I LEARN.

TAKE CARE OF WHAT YOU LOVE, BECAUSE MEMORIES CANNOT BE EMBRACED.

IF YOU WANT TO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE, TIE IT TO A GOAL, NOT TO A PERSON OR AN OBJECT.

Notarial blog

Do not expect to find any legal master class in this blog. It intends to explain, in the simplest and most practical way possible, the different legal and notarial situations in which any person may find himself/herself throughout his/her life. It is a purely informative blog whose main purpose is to try to solve doubts. It tries to address and combine both classic or traditional issues, as well as more current issues but always within the notarial legal field.

How much does a notary service in Barcelona cost?

The cost of a notary service in Barcelona, as in the rest of Spain, can vary depending on the type of procedure you need to perform. Notaries in Spain have rates regulated by the State, which means that the prices for certain services are fixed and must be respected by all notaries. However, the final cost may vary depending on the complexity of the document or the number of parties involved. In our article "Did you know that.... all notaries must charge the same?" we explain everything in detail.

Since last November 2023 citizens in Spain can do their paperwork online through the Citizen's Notarial Portal. We explain in detail how it works in our page about the Notarial Portal.

Can I receive legal advice at a notary's office in Barcelona?

What are the differences between a notary and a lawyer in Barcelona?

In Barcelona, as in the rest of Spain, the professions of notary and lawyer have different roles and responsibilities, although both work in the legal field. Here I explain the main differences:

  1. Function and objectives:
    • Notary: The main function of a notary is to confer public faith to the documents and acts that are formalized before him, ensuring their legality, authenticity and legal certainty. Notaries act as an impartial intermediary between the parties to ensure that all legal requirements are met and that agreements are properly documented.
    • Lawyer: Lawyers represent and defend the interests of their clients in various legal matters, both in and out of court. Their role is to provide legal advice to their clients, prepare the defense and representation in litigation, and guide in legal proceedings and decisions.
  2. Impartiality:
    • Notary: Must maintain a neutral position, ensuring that all parties understand the content and legal consequences of the documents and acts they sign.
    • Lawyer: He is committed to defend his client's interests, acting in a partial manner in favor of his client.
  3. Legal documents:
    • Notary: Has the exclusive authority to create public documents (such as deeds of sale, wills and powers of attorney) that have a high degree of reliability and are directly enforceable.
    • Lawyer: Prepares writings and private documents, such as contracts, lawsuits and other legal documents that may need to be validated or notarized in order to have certain legal formalities.
  4. Requirements to practice:
    • Notary: To become a notary in Spain, it is necessary to pass a rigorous national examination and be appointed by the Ministry of Justice. Notaries are civil servants.
    • Lawyer: Lawyers must obtain a law degree, pass the bar exam and be admitted to the corresponding bar association.
  5. Scope of work:
    • Notary: His work is more focused on the prevention of litigation, ensuring that acts and contracts are clear and within the law.
    • Attorney: May be involved in a wide range of legal situations, including litigation, legal advice, negotiations and mediations between conflicting parties.

These differences underscore the importance of each profession within the legal system and how they complement the legal spectrum by serving society's various legal needs. You can find more information about the requirements to become a notary in our article "Did you know that... to become a notary it is necessary to have a law degree and then study a tough opposition?"

Can I freely choose any notary's office in Barcelona?

Yes, you can freely choose any notary's office in Barcelona to carry out your legal and notarial procedures. In Spain, notaries are liberal professionals and citizens have the right to choose the notary's office they prefer, although you must keep in mind that they are assigned to a locality and have a territorial limit. You can select a notary based on criteria such as proximity, recommendations, specialization in certain services, or even the speed and efficiency of the service offered. This flexibility is part of the guarantee of access to quality notary services tailored to your specific needs. You can find more information in our article on whether you can choose the notary you want.
