I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING BELIEVING THAT TODAY IS GOING TO BE BETTER THAN YESTERDAY.

HE WHO WANTS TO DO SOMETHING WILL GET A MEANS, HE WHO DOESN'T WILL GET AN EXCUSE.

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

BE ONE OF THOSE RARE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO GIVE UP.

NEVER FORGET WHY YOU STARTED.

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

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

IN DARK TIMES, GOOD PEOPLE SHINE.

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

GENIUS IS 1% INSPIRATION AND 99% PERSPIRATION.

LIFE WILL PUT OBSTACLES IN YOUR WAY, BUT YOU SET THE LIMITS.

THE BEST MAKEUP IS A SMILE, THE BEST JEWELRY IS HUMILITY, THE BEST CLOTHES ARE ATTITUDE AND THE BEST MEDICINE IS LOVE.

EVERYTHING IS VERY DIFFICULT BEFORE IT IS EASY.

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".

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

NO RELATIONSHIP IS A WASTE OF TIME BECAUSE IF HE DIDN'T GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR, HE TAUGHT YOU WHAT YOU NEEDED.

WHEN THERE IS DESIRE, EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. A TODAY IS WORTH 2 TOMORROWS.

YOUR LIFE IS NOW.

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

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

IN THIS HOUSE WE LAUGH AND SING AND, IF WE EVER CRY, WE ALWAYS FORGIVE EACH OTHER.

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

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

WASTE YOUR TIME WITH WHOM YOU EARN YOUR LIVING.

A SATISFIED CUSTOMER IS THE BEST BUSINESS STRATEGY.

IF YOU ADD A LITTLE TO THE LITTLE AND DO IT OFTEN. SOON A LITTLE WILL BECOME A LOT.

LAUGHTER HAS NO TIME, IMAGINATION HAS NO AGE AND DREAMS ARE FOREVER.

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

THE BEST ADVERTISING IS THE ONE MADE BY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS.

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

A POSITIVE PERSON TURNS PROBLEMS INTO CHALLENGES, NEVER OBSTACLES.

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

HE IS NOT STRONG WHO DOES NOT NEED HELP, BUT HE WHO HAS THE COURAGE TO ASK FOR IT WHEN HE NEEDS IT.

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

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

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

YOUR FRIEND HAS A FRIEND AND YOUR FRIEND'S FRIEND HAS A FRIEND: THEREFORE, BE DISCREET.

I ALSO BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST LAUGH.

WE ARE INSTANTS.

ASK WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW AND YOU'LL LOOK LIKE A FOOL FOR A FEW MINUTES. DON'T ASK AND YOU'LL BE A FOOL YOUR WHOLE LIFE.

DON'T TALK, SHOW.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO EMBARK ON A NEW COURSE, LIVE A NEW STORY OR BUILD A NEW DREAM.

I HAVE MY SMILE READY FOR WHEN I SEE YOU.

YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR LIFE INSIDE YOUR HEAD. MAKE IT A HEALTHY PLACE TO BE.

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

BEAUTY BEGINS WITH THE DECISION TO BE YOURSELF.

DO NOT SERVE SO THAT YOUR PRESENCE IS NOTICED, BUT SO THAT YOUR ABSENCE IS FELT.

DON'T TELL ME THE HOURS YOU WORK, TELL ME WHAT YOU GET.

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

IT IS BETTER TO BE HURT BY A TRUTH THAN COMFORTED BY A LIE.

OPPORTUNITIES MULTIPLY AS THEY ARE TAKEN.

YOU CREATE YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITIES.

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

TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS TO BE NO ONE.

LOVE AND HAPPINESS ARE NOT PUBLISHED, THEY ARE LIVED.

PERFECT DAY: GOING TO BED WITH A DREAM AND WAKING UP WITH A PURPOSE.

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

EDUCATION IS THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON YOU CAN USE TO CHANGE THE WORLD.

IF IT WASN'T YOU, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET YOU?

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

MAY ALL GOOD THINGS FOLLOW YOU, FIND YOU AND STAY WITH YOU.

MAYBE HEARTS ARE BROKEN BY PUTTING IN PEOPLE WHO DON'T FIT INSIDE.

IF YOU GET TIRED, LEARN TO REST, NOT TO GIVE UP.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO GIVE YOU LIFE.

THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO FACE LIFE: ONE IS PRIDE, BELIEVING THAT YOU KNOW EVERYTHING; THE OTHERIS HUMILITY, RECOGNIZING THAT YOU HAVE MUCH TO LEARN.

THE BEST WAY TO START SOMETHING IS TO STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AND START DOING IT.

STAY WHERE EVERYTHING IS MUTUAL.

POTHOLES ARE ALSO PART OF THE ROAD.

THE REWARD OF OUR WORK IS NOT WHAT WE GET, BUT WHAT WE BECOME.

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.

THE WORLD CHANGES BY YOUR EXAMPLE, NOT BY YOUR OPINION.

THE WORD CONVINCES, BUT THE EXAMPLE DRAGS.

BE HAPPY, IT DRIVES PEOPLE CRAZY.

UNDERSTANDING IS IMPORTANT, BUT FEELING IS MAGICAL.

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

THE HEAVIEST TEAR IS THE ONE THAT DOES NOT FALL.

HAVING A PURPOSE AWAKENS THE SENSES.

SUCCESS IN LIFE IS NOT IN ALWAYS WINNING, BUT IN NEVER GIVING UP.

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

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

IT IS IN THE SMALL DETAILS THAT WE DISCOVER GREAT PEOPLE.

BELIEVING THAT EVERYTHING HAS A SOLUTION IS NOT OPTIMISM, IT IS TALENT.

THE SMALLEST ACTION IS BETTER THAN THE GREATEST INTENTION.

TIME DOES NOT ERASE, IT LOCATES.

SINCE WE ARE PASSING THROUGH, LET'S LEAVE BEAUTIFUL FOOTPRINTS.

WHAT IF YOU STOP THINKING ABOUT IT SO MUCH AND JUST GIVE IT A TRY?

LIFE IS SHORT: KISS SLOWLY, LAUGH LOUDLY, LOVE INTENSELY AND FORGIVE QUICKLY.

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

THE ONLY PERSON YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE IS THE ONE WHO SHOWS YOU THAT THEY NEED YOU IN THEIRS.

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

DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

DON'T PROCRASTINATE.

NO ONE IS LIKE YOU AND THAT IS YOUR POWER.

THE TASTE OF LIFE DEPENDS ON WHO TASTES IT.

COMFORT KILLS PROGRESS.

THINK LIKE AN ADULT, LIVE LIKE A YOUNG PERSON, ADVISE LIKE AN ELDER AND NEVER STOP DREAMING LIKE A CHILD.

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

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

MISTAKES ARE NOT DENIED, THEY ARE ASSUMED. SADNESS IS NOT MOURNED, IT IS OVERCOME. LOVE IS NOT SHOUTED, IT IS SHOWN.

DO IT. THEY WILL CRITICIZE YOU ANYWAY.

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.

Is it possible to carry out notarial procedures online in Barcelona?

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?

Yes, you can receive legal advice at a notary's office in Barcelona, although the type of advice a notary can provide is specific and is focused primarily on the documents and formalities that are being formalized before him or her. Notaries in Spain are legal professionals with extensive legal training, and their role includes ensuring that notarial acts and contracts comply with the law and protect the interests of all parties involved. Our team of professionals will be happy to support you with your paperwork. Make your inquiry directly online and we will contact you.

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.
