CHANGE IS FOR THE BRAVE. COWARDS PREFER TO STAY WHERE THEY ARE, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT HAPPY.

LIFE IS MOMENTS, LIVE IT!

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

GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO WAIT FOR THEM: THE BEST THINGS HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO GO FOR THEM.

MY HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON ONLY ONE PERSON, AND THAT PERSON IS ME.

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

TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS TO BE NO ONE.

WORTH THE JOY AND NOT THE PAIN.

THINK THREE TIMES AS MUCH, DO TWICE AS MUCH AND TALK HALF AS MUCH.

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

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

LOSERS QUIT WHEN THEY FAIL, WINNERS FAIL UNTIL THEY WIN.

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

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

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

LITTLE BY LITTLE A LITTLE BIT BECOMES A LOT.

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

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.

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

YOUR BEST TEACHER IS YOUR LAST MISTAKE.

BE YOURSELF, ALL OTHER POSITIONS ARE FILLED.

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

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

OPPORTUNITIES MULTIPLY AS THEY ARE TAKEN.

JUDGING A PERSON DOES NOT DEFINE WHO THEY ARE... IT DEFINES WHO YOU ARE.

GOOD IS NEVER EASY. EASY IS NEVER GOOD.

THE HEAVIEST TEAR IS THE ONE THAT DOES NOT FALL.

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

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

DON'T LOVE ME SO MUCH AND LOVE ME BETTER.

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".

WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN AND SMILE AGAIN, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

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

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

SOMETIMES WE LOOK FOR WHAT WE ARE NOT YET READY TO FIND.

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

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

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

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

BE THE PERSON YOU REALLY WANT TO BE AND NOT THE PERSON YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD YOU HAVE TO BE.

A MAN IS AS YOUNG AS HIS ILLUSIONS AND AS OLD AS HIS MEMORIES.

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.

I GO AFTER WHAT IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS A QUEUE FOR WHAT IS EASY.

A SATISFIED CUSTOMER IS THE BEST BUSINESS STRATEGY.

FLEE FROM PEOPLE WHO DULL YOUR SMILE.

THE VALUE OF LIFE IS IN UNDERSTANDING THAT YOUR FAMILY IS PRICELESS, THAT YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR TRUE WEALTH AND THAT YOUR TIME IS WORTH GOLD.

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

WORK ON YOURSELF EVERY DAY.

DOESN'T GET EASIER, YOU GET STRONGER.

ONE WISH CHANGES NOTHING, ONE ACTION CHANGES EVERYTHING.

DREAMS ARE THE GOAL, IMAGINATION THE TRANSPORT, REALITY THE STARTING POINT.

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

IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU THAT SOMETHING IS IMPOSSIBLE, DON'T LISTEN TO THEM. HE IS TALKING ABOUT HIS LIMITATIONS, NOT YOURS.

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

THE TASTE OF LIFE DEPENDS ON WHO TASTES IT.

RACES ARE NOT ALWAYS WON BY THE FASTEST, BUT BY THOSE WHO DON'T STOP RUNNING.

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

CONFIDENCE IS FEELING SAFE TO BE YOURSELF.

LOVING YOURSELF IS THE FIRST STEP TO HAPPINESS.

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

THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO SEE WHAT IS INVISIBLE TO OTHERS.

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

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

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

IF YOU HAVE TO FORCE IT, IT 'S NOT YOUR SIZE.

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

TIME DOES NOT ERASE, IT LOCATES.

LIFE IS LIKE A MIRROR: IT SMILES AT YOU IF YOU LOOK AT IT SMILING.

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

DON'T TALK, SHOW.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT WITH PASSION.

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

INTELLIGENCE IS THE ABILITY TO ADAPT TO CHANGE.

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

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

I ALSO BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST LAUGH.

UNDERSTANDING IS IMPORTANT, BUT FEELING IS MAGICAL.

SMILE! WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTIVE LATER.

DON'T PROCRASTINATE.

IT TAKES SADNESS TO KNOW HAPPINESS, NOISE TO APPRECIATE SILENCE, AND ABSENCE TO VALUE PRESENCE.

ENJOY, NOTHING IS FOREVER.

THERE ARE THREE THINGS IN LIFE THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER LOSE: YOUR SMILE, YOUR JOY AND YOUR WAY OF BEING.

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

YIELDING IS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS, IT IS A SIGN OF GREATNESS.

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

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

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

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

WHAT YOU DENY SUBDUES YOU, WHAT YOU ACCEPT TRANSFORMS YOU.

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

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

EVERYTHING IS VERY DIFFICULT BEFORE IT IS EASY.

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

NEVER FORGET WHY YOU STARTED.

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

BE HAPPY, IT DRIVES PEOPLE CRAZY.

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

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

INSIST, PERSIST, RESIST AND NEVER GIVE UP.

I HAVE MY SMILE READY FOR WHEN I SEE YOU.

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.

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.
