The salary of a Notary.

The salary of a Notary.

The salary of a notary can be between 35,000 and more than 100,000 euros gross per year. Differences in remuneration often depend on the reputation of the notary office. In general, the more documents the notary produces, the more attractive remuneration he receives. The amount received also depends on the amount of his fees. By starting as a notary, it will be possible to receive a salary of between 35,000 and 40,000 euros gross per year. This means that from the start of the career, it is possible to earn more than 2,300 euros net per month. With several years of experience or with a substantial client portfolio, the notary can receive more than 100,000 euros gross per year. His salary will then exceed 8,000 euros gross per month. This legal professional is often paid according to the number and amounts associated with the notarial acts he handles. Notary fees are very strictly regulated by the State. As part of a real estate transaction, the notary only receives a small part of what are called notary fees. The rest will be redistributed to the State, the Municipality and the Department. The more expensive the real estate sold, the more likely the notary will receive an attractive remuneration. We therefore observe differences in income depending on the geographic sector where he works. Large cities are therefore quite popular with these experts in notarial deeds.

The work environment.

Whatever their practice status (employee, partner, holder), the notary spends the majority of their time at the office, discussing with secretaries, notary clerks, and assistant notaries on the various files in progress. He welcomes clients into his office so that discussions remain confidential.
He is also required to communicate by email or telephone to prepare an act to be authenticated, in particular to request official documents in the context of an inheritance, a sale of real estate, etc. On a daily basis, he communicates with other notaries with a view to jointly signing documents, as in the case of a divorce, for example.

Possible developments.

A notary may practice alone as holder of a notarial office. These offices are managed by the Ministry of Justice, which alone has the power to create new ones. The creation of offices remains rare, and in fact, the value of an office is very high and acquisition is difficult. The body of notaries has, however, set up an internal loan system to overcome this problem. The notary can also join forces with other notaries within a professional civil society (SCP) or a private practice society (SEL). The association has the advantage of requiring a lesser contribution (financial contribution or so-called industry contribution). An associate notary can then specialize in a specific branch of law. Finally, a notary can be a simple employee of an office. He is subject to the same regime as an individual or associated notary, but from a professional point of view, he is an employee.
