Cantonal notarial tariff
For public deeds: sales, incorporations, public wills, contracts. The amount is calculated by law on the value of the deed, the same for every notary in the Canton.
Transparency from the very first meeting
For public deeds the fee is set by the notarial tariff of Canton Ticino and depends on the value of the deed; for legal counsel we agree on the most suitable model. In every case you receive a written quote before we proceed.
Three formulas, one rule: no surprises
Fixed fee
For defined services: certifications, apostilles, powers of attorney, advance care mandates, a one-off consultation. Amount agreed upfront.
Hourly rate
For legal counsel and litigation, where the duration cannot be predicted. Detailed time reporting, updated with every invoice.

Before you write
Is the first meeting chargeable?
The introductory meeting is without obligation: it serves to understand your needs, list the documents required and prepare the written quote.
Who pays the notary in a property sale?
In Ticino, unless agreed otherwise, the notarial fee and registry duties are split equally between seller and buyer. Mortgage costs are borne by the party creating it.
How long does a property deed take?
Usually two to three weeks from receipt of the documents and the financing confirmation. The land-registry entry follows within a few days of signing.
Can I be assisted in German, French or English?
Yes. We work in Italian, German, French and English, at our offices or by video call, and draft deeds in the Canton’s official languages.
