Statutory fees
Solicitors’ fees are fixed in accordance with an official decree issued on 8th March 1978 that sets compulsory rates which depend on the type of notarized deed.
Before signing, your solicitor will give you an estimate of the overall costs and fees.
He is under obligation to request a deposit and to issue the corresponding receipt.
When transactions are completed, your solicitor gives you an itemised statement detailing his actual fees, the disbursements incurred and the taxes collected.
