To that end, the notary shall, in particular, fix the date of such acts, verify the identity, quality and capacity of the parties and ensure that they express therein their consent in a free and enlightened manner. The notary must also advise the parties and act impartially towards them.
In the context of this mission, the notary keeps in his or her notarial records the notarial acts en minute that he or she executes in order to give access to them, including by issuing copies of or extracts from those acts.
