We recently signed a contract and had it notarized. Surprisingly, I got a bill from the notary public in the amount of US$2,900 where she claims the company has to pay a percentage of the contract value according to law no. 301, del Notario del 30 Junio de 1964, G.O. 7870, Capitulo IV, Articulo 67, ordinal Decimo.
As the contract was an option and no money exchanged hands, I am surprised that we have to pay this. I will check with our lawyers too but just in case they are in cahouts with the 'notary mafia' I wanted to get other opinions about this.
Has anybody else had similar situation with notary publics?
