Notarial Deeds
Certain legal transactions are only legally valid if they are notarised by a public notary. In such cases, the notary plays a central role: reviewing the required documents, formally recording the declarations of the parties and preparing the official notarial deed.
Our notary office advises and assists you with a wide range of private and business matters – from company formations and marital and inheritance agreements to lasting powers of attorney and other formal declarations.
The notarial deeds executed by our office are valid throughout Switzerland and abroad, regardless of where you live or where your company is based.
Which notarial services do you need?
The incorporation of a Swiss AG (public limited company) or GmbH (limited liability company), as well as the establishment of a foundation, requires a public notarial deed. We can handle the entire preparation process for you, including drafting the necessary documents such as the deed of incorporation, articles of association, contribution agreements, incorporation report and commercial register application. The notarisation can then be completed at our notary office.
We also assist you with subsequent corporate and commercial register matters, including:
– Amendments to the articles of association
– Relocation of the registered office or change of company name
– Capital increases and reductions
– Mergers, demergers and conversions
– Transfers of assets
– Dissolution and liquidation of companies
As public notaries of the Canton of St. Gallen, we support you throughout the entire process, from preparing the required documents to completing the notarisation.

Careful planning of financial and property matters can provide clarity and security for spouses and families. A marriage agreement allows spouses, for example, to choose their matrimonial property regime and determine the financial consequences in the event of divorce or the death of a spouse.
An inheritance agreement enables binding arrangements to be made for the event of death. Combining a marriage agreement with an inheritance agreement can provide comprehensive protection for the surviving spouse. Depending on the family and financial circumstances, this may help ensure, for example, that the surviving spouse can remain in the family home.
We notarise, among other things:
– Marriage agreements and property agreements under partnership law
– Agreements establishing separation of property or community of property
– Testamentary dispositions
– Inheritance agreements and inheritance renunciation agreements
– Appointments of heirs and agreements on the purchase of inheritance rights
– Legacies
– Provisions for the division of an estate

An accident, serious illness or age-related impairment may result in a person becoming unable to manage their personal and financial affairs independently.
A lasting power of attorney allows you to appoint a trusted person in advance to handle your affairs should you lose the capacity to make decisions yourself. It enables you to set out your wishes and gives a person of your choice the necessary authority to act on your behalf.
A properly executed lasting power of attorney can also help reduce the need for additional measures by the KESB (Child and Adult Protection Authority) if you become incapacitated.
