They take the interests of both parties into account and explain the rights, obligations, risks and options associated with, for example, marriage, registered partnership or divorce, including matters relating to property and children. It is therefore worth consulting a notary even if, due to a difference of opinion, reaching an agreement seems difficult.<\/p>\n<h3>Marriage<\/h3>\n<p>Adult persons may get married. A marriage can be registered at any notary\u2019s office. In general, notaries provide this service on weekdays during working hours. By agreement with the notary, it is also possible to get married outside the notary\u2019s office and working hours at a location chosen by the prospective spouses.<\/p>\n<h3>Application for marriage<\/h3>\n<p>A joint written application must be submitted to a notary in order to get married. An appointment must be booked in advance in order to submit an application, as simply sending the application by email is not sufficient. This can be done either at a notary\u2019s office or via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notar.ee\/en\/professional-acts\/remote-authentication\/\">remote authentication<\/a>. However, it must be kept in mind that, in order to get married, the parties must appear in person at the notary\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You must bring a number of documents with you when getting married:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>personal identity documents (ID card or passport);<\/li>\n<li>a document certifying the birth of both prospective spouses (this does not have to be submitted if the information in the document has been entered in the Estonian Population Register);<\/li>\n<li>in the case of a second or subsequent marriage or registered partnership, a document certifying that the previous marriage or registered partnership has been dissolved or annulled (this does not have to be submitted if the information in the document has been entered in the Estonian Population Register);<\/li>\n<li>if the previous marriage was dissolved abroad, the foreign document certifying the dissolution of the marriage must contain the personal details of the parties to the divorce, information on where and when the dissolved marriage was contracted, details of the authority that issued the divorce decree and the date when the decree was made and entered into force;<\/li>\n<li>if one of the prospective spouses lives abroad or has lived in Estonia for less than 6 months, a certificate of legal capacity to contract marriage must also be submitted, i.e. proof that the person may enter into marriage under the laws of their country of residence;<\/li>\n<li>if necessary, the certificate must be legalised or certified with an apostille. It must be translated by a sworn translator into Estonian, Russian or English, unless the document is already in Russian or English. A certificate of legal capacity to contract marriage is valid for 6 months, unless a shorter period of validity is specified on the certificate;<\/li>\n<li>in addition to the documents listed above, a foreign national wishing to marry must prove that they have a legal basis for staying in Estonia (e.g. a residence permit or a visa). A citizen of a Member State of the European Union or a person regarded as a family member of a European Union citizen in accordance with the law on European Union citizens is not required to prove this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Time limit<\/h3>\n<p>A marriage may be contracted within 6 months of the submission of the application for marriage. In exceptional cases and for valid reasons, the notary may shorten the time limit.<\/p>\n<h3>Choice of surname<\/h3>\n<p><strong>When getting married, spouses may choose whether to keep their existing surname or choose a new one. The new surname may:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>be a shared surname of the spouses, which is the surname last held by one of the spouses prior to the marriage;<\/li>\n<li>consist of the surname last held prior to the marriage, followed by the spouse\u2019s surname. A surname chosen in this way may not consist of more than two names linked by a hyphen (e.g. Tamm-Kask), and may only be held by one of the spouses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Choice of proprietary relationship<\/h3>\n<p><strong>When getting married, the spouses also choose a proprietary relationship, which can be amended later by means of a marital property contract. The Family Law Act allows spouses to choose between three types of proprietary relationship:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>jointness of property,<\/li>\n<li>set-off of assets increment;<\/li>\n<li>separateness of property.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When set-off of assets increment or separateness of property is chosen, the relevant entry is also made in the Marital Property Register.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc5920d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bc5920d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-915eac9 e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"915eac9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-063f411 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"063f411\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c83c0d text-pretty elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5c83c0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Jointness of property<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dfed517 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dfed517\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Jointness of property creates the strongest financial ties between spouses.

You must contact a notary\u2019s office, book an appointment and provide the notary with the details of the requested agreements in order to sign the contract.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike marriage and divorce, there is no established time limit that must elapse between the submission of an application and the conclusion of a registered partnership contract.<\/p>\n<h3>Choice of surname<\/h3>\n<p>When entering into a registered partnership contract, the registered partners may choose whether to keep their existing surname or choose a new one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The new surname may:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>be the shared surname of the registered partners, which is the surname last held by one of the partners prior to the registered partnership;<\/li>\n<li>consist of the surname last held prior to the registered partnership, followed by the registered partner\u2019s surname. A surname chosen in this way may not consist of more than two names linked by a hyphen (e.g. Tamm-Kask), and may only be held by one of the registered partners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Choice of proprietary relationship<\/h3>\n<p>When entering into a registered partnership contract, the partners also choose a proprietary relationship, which can be amended later by means of a marital property contract.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Family Law Act allows partners to choose between three types of proprietary relationship:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>jointness of property,<\/li>\n<li>set-off of assets increment;<\/li>\n<li>separateness of property.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When set-off of assets increment or separateness of property is chosen, the relevant entry is also made in the Marital Property Register.<\/p>\n<h3>Jointness of property<\/h3>\n<p>Jointness of property creates the strongest financial ties between registered partners. Property acquired during this proprietary relationship belongs to the partners jointly and transactions with such property may only be carried out jointly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In addition, each partner has separate property, which includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>personal effects;<\/li>\n<li>property acquired before the registration of the partnership;<\/li>\n<li>property acquired during the registered partnership free of charge, i.e. as a gift or by inheritance;<\/li>\n<li>assets acquired on the account of separate property.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Registered partners may conclude transactions with their separate property without the other partner\u2019s consent. As an exception, partners may, for example, sell or mortgage a home that forms part of their separate property only jointly. A restriction applies from 2015 to immovable property acquired e.g. as a gift or by inheritance. It is possible to agree in a marital property contract that this restriction does not apply.<\/p>\n<h3>Set-off of assets increment<\/h3>\n<p>Set-off of assets increment ensures greater financial independence for partners than jointness of property and offers the economically weaker partner more safeguards than separateness of property.<\/p>\n<p>Property acquired during this proprietary relationship does not automatically become the joint property of the partners.<\/p>\n<p>Transactions relating to the partners\u2019 home may only be carried out with the consent of the other partner, regardless of which partner owns the property. It can be agreed in a marital property contract that this restriction does not apply.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Under this proprietary relationship, the partners\u2019 property consists of:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>fixed assets;<\/li>\n<li>acquired assets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fixed assets are assets that belonged to a partner prior to the registration of the partnership, and assets that they have acquired by inheritance or received as a gift.<\/p>\n<p>Acquired assets are property acquired by a partner during the proprietary relationship, for example, in the form of a salary or business income.<\/p>\n<p>Acquired assets are offset in the event of the termination of the registered partnership. This means that a partner who has acquired fewer assets is entitled to claim compensation from the other party.<\/p>\n<h3>Separateness of property<\/h3>\n<p>In the case of separateness of property, the partners are entirely independent of each other in terms of property. The acquisition of assets does not give rise to joint property and the consent of the other partner is not required for the conclusion of transactions.<\/p>\n<h3>Document certifying registration of partnership<\/h3>\n<p>The registration of a partnership is certified by the registered partnership contract. The local authority may issue an extract from the Population Register showing the registration of the partnership and the registered partner, and a state fee must be paid for this in accordance with the State Fees Act.<\/p>\n<h3>Notary fee<\/h3>\n<p>The notary fee for the authentication of the conclusion of a registered partnership contract is \u20ac248, including VAT.<\/p>\n<p>The fee also covers additional agreements relating to the registered partnership of registered partners, the choice of law applicable to property relations, statutory counselling, and the provision of information and entries in the Population Register and the Marital Property Register.<\/p>\n<p>If the registered partnership contract is entered into via remote authentication, a notary fee of \u20ac24.80, including VAT, will be added.<\/p>\n<p>If you have notified the notary of your wish to enter into a registered partnership contract and the notary has advised you, but the registered partnership contract is not entered into due to circumstances not dependent on the notary, the notary fee, including VAT, is \u20ac124.<\/p>\n<h3>Termination of registered partnership contract<\/h3>\n<p>You must contact a notary\u2019s office, book an appointment and provide the notary with the details of the requested agreements in order to terminate the registered partnership contract. A registered partnership contract may only be terminated by means of notarised declarations of intent from the registered partners. If the declarations are not made at the same time, the registered partnership is terminated on the basis of the declaration made last. A declaration of intent may not be conditional.<\/p>\n<p>Upon the termination of a registered partnership contract, any agreements entered into solely by virtue of the registered partnership will also expire.<\/p>\n<p>If a partner changed their surname when registering their partnership, they may revert to their previous surname. If they do not wish to do so, they will retain their current surname.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The surname to be restored may be:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the surname last held prior to the partnership to be terminated;<\/li>\n<li>the surname last held prior to the first partnership.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The notary fee for the authentication of an agreement to terminate a registered partnership is \u20ac64, plus VAT of \u20ac15.36 (total: \u20ac79.36).<\/p>\n<p>Upon the termination of a registered partnership contract, the notary provides the details to the Population Register in accordance with the rules provided in this Act and in the Population Register Act and makes entries in the Marital Property Register in accordance with the rules provided in the Marital Property Register Act.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-8442\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"3\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-8442\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><h2 class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Marital property contract  <\/h2><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" d=\"M17.657 5.844 6.344 17.157m11.313-.001L6.344 5.843\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" d=\"M12 3.5v16m8-8H4\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-8442\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ccc096b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ccc096b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a77b5c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4a77b5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A marital property contract allows spouses to change the proprietary relationship applicable to them and determine which existing or future assets are to be regarded as the spouses\u2019 joint property and which as the separate property of one spouse. It is also possible to set out in the contract how joint property is to be used and, where necessary, divided.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thus, a marital property contract makes it possible to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>replace the selected proprietary relationship with another;<\/li>\n<li>terminate the selected proprietary relationship;<\/li>\n<li>enter into other agreements permitted by law.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, if spouses chose separateness of property when they married but wish to establish closer financial ties, they may choose jointness of property or set-off of assets increment as the proprietary relationship. A marital property contract must be entered into in order to establish a new proprietary relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Spouses who have chosen jointness of property or set-off of assets increment as the proprietary relationship may, in the cases permitted by the Family Law Act, enter into agreements to amend their proprietary relationship. For example, spouses who have chosen jointness of property may agree in the marital property contract that an item belonging to one spouse\u2019s separate property is regarded as joint property. They may also set out that a particular item belonging to the joint property is regarded as the separate property of one of the spouses.<\/p>\n<h3>Entering into a marital property contract<\/h3>\n<p>A marital property contract can be signed by two natural persons with active legal capacity who are adults and at least one of whom resides in Estonia.<\/p>\n<p>A marital property contract can only be entered into in the notarised form.

This may be necessary, for example, if a child is travelling with a grandparent, a teacher, a camp leader or a family friend, with just one parent, or entirely on their own. Consent is also required if a child moves to or goes to study in another country.<\/p>\n<p>Whether a simple written consent from the parents is sufficient or whether the consent must be notarised depends on the requirements of the destination country and the countries along the travel route. It is therefore worth checking the transport companies\u2019 requirements before travelling, or seeking further information from the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If in doubt, a notarised consent form is always the safer option.<\/p>\n<p>You can find information on travelling with children, including a sample consent form, in the <a href=\"https:\/\/reisitargalt.vm.ee\/lastega-reisimine\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">travelling with children<\/a> section on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n<h3>Preparation of consent<\/h3>\n<p>Parents may prepare the consent themselves or have it prepared by a notary. Several children and several accompanying adults may be included in a single consent.<\/p>\n<p>Parents should consider whether they are giving their consent for a specific trip or, for example, for grandparents to travel in certain regions or countries for a specific period. That way, you don\u2019t have to prepare a new consent form every time you send your child on a trip. However, you must keep in mind that if the consent is issued for a longer period, it is not advisable to include passport or ID card numbers, as in that case a new consent form will have to be prepared when the identity document is renewed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A child who is travelling without a parent or legal guardian must bring the following documents:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>personal identity documents (ID card or passport);<\/li>\n<li>in addition, it is worth bringing along a paper copy of the extract from the Population Register containing the details of both parents in English.

This component is also recalculated annually on 1 April according to the changes in the average gross monthly wage.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, spouses may, while still married, enter into a notarised agreement setting out how and in what amount support will be paid in the event of a possible divorce.<\/p>\n<h3>Notary fee<\/h3>\n<p>The notary fee for drawing up support agreements depends on the value of the transaction. The transaction value of a support agreement is the amount of the support to be paid, but not more than is paid for one year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-8445\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"6\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-8445\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><h2 class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Consents for adoption  <\/h2><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" d=\"M17.657 5.844 6.344 17.157m11.313-.001L6.344 5.843\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" d=\"M12 3.5v16m8-8H4\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-8445\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d19bce8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d19bce8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4a16f3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e4a16f3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The child\u2019s parents and the adopting spouse or registered partner may give their consent to the child\u2019s adoption at a notary\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1edf928 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1edf928\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2ded8a text-pretty elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e2ded8a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83a437f elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"83a437f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

Parents may agree between themselves on the payment and amount of the support. Monthly child support is calculated according to a base amount of \\u20ac200 per child. This amount is adjusted annually on 1 April according to the change in the consumer price index for the previous year. Next year, an adjusted base amount will be used for the calculations. Three per cent of the average gross monthly wage in Estonia for the previous calendar year is added to the base amount. This component is also recalculated annually on 1 April according to the changes in the average gross monthly wage.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Who else can claim support in addition to a child?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Maintenance may also be claimed by a spouse, a divorced spouse under certain conditions, a parent raising a child in common, and other dependent ascendant or descendant relatives, such as a grandchild, parent or grandparent. A divorced spouse may be entitled to support if they are unable to support themselves because they are caring for a child in common or they are unable to provide for themselves after the divorce because of their age or state of health, and such a need for support existed at the time of the divorce.\"}}]}<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f641857 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f641857\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c7d342 text-pretty elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7c7d342\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Notary fees<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09250f0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"09250f0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc601d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-nk-price-table\" data-id=\"cc601d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"nk-price-table.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<table class=\"nk-price-table\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<th class=\"col-label\" scope=\"col\">Notarial act<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<th class=\"col-price\" scope=\"col\">Notary fee including VAT (\u20ac)<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t\t\t\t<tbody>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-label\" data-label=\"Notarial act\">Contraction of marriage (including accepting the application for marriage, providing advice and preparing the entry)<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-price\" data-label=\"Notary fee including VAT (\u20ac)\">79.36<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-label\" data-label=\"Notarial act\">Entry into registered partnership contract<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-price\" data-label=\"Notary fee including VAT (\u20ac)\">248.00<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-label\" data-label=\"Notarial act\">Entry into registered partnership contract<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-price\" data-label=\"Notary fee including VAT (\u20ac)\">By agreement<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-label\" data-label=\"Notarial act\">Divorce (including accepting the application for divorce, providing advice and preparing the entry)<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-price\" data-label=\"Notary fee including VAT (\u20ac)\">79.36<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-label\" data-label=\"Notarial act\">Marital property contract \u2013 minimal notary fee<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-price\" data-label=\"Notary fee including VAT (\u20ac)\">61.75<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-label\" data-label=\"Notarial act\">Marital property contract \u2013 notary fee for opening a registry card<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-price\" data-label=\"Notary fee including VAT (\u20ac)\">31.00<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-label\" data-label=\"Notarial act\">Marital property contract \u2013 notary fee for amendment of entry<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-price\" data-label=\"Notary fee including VAT (\u20ac)\">12,40<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-label\" data-label=\"Notarial act\">Division of joint property<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"col-price\" data-label=\"Notary fee including VAT (\u20ac)\">The notary fee is calculated on the basis of the transaction value.<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tbody>\n\t\t\t\t<\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07df288 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"07df288\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Fees for making copies will be added to the notary fee.
