Retention of the remuneration due to the notary as part of his judicial mission. Payment by clients of this advance on the notary’s remuneration, the amount of which is set by the court, enables the notary to begin legal proceedings. This sum can be deposited either in the notary’s office account or directly with the court.
For example, when an expert notary is appointed by a family court judge for the liquidation and division of a matrimonial property regime, the sums required for his expert report will be deposited before he can begin his mission.
