Versions de la disposition
40. The choice of an officiating notary to execute a notarial act is determined by agreement between the parties.
If there is no agreement, the choice falls to
0.1° the woman or the person who has agreed to give birth to a child in the context of a parental project involving surrogacy;
1° the creditor, for acts of obligation, surety bonds or acts of a similar nature;
2° the debtor, for a simple discharge;
3° the new creditor, for a discharge with subrogation or a discharge following the payment of a debt with the proceeds of a hypothecary loan, despite any agreement or stipulation to the contrary between the former creditor and the debtor;
4° the purchaser or transferee, for the sale of movable or immovable property or rights where
a) the purchaser or transferee pays the purchase price in full; or
b) the purchaser or transferee pays all or part of the purchase price to the seller or transferor with the proceeds of a hypothecary loan contracted for that purpose;
5° the seller or transferor, for the sale of movable or immovable property or rights, where the purchaser or transferee undertakes to pay a balance of the sale price to the seller or transferor or to assume a pre-existing obligation of the seller or transferor.
Despite any agreement to the contrary, the choice of a notary falls to the party entitled to choose the notary pursuant to subparagraph 4 or 5 of the second paragraph for a discharge resulting from the payment of a claim secured by a real right encumbering property sold or transferred where the payment is made out of the proceeds from the sale or transfer of the property.
