notarized deed of sale

As long as this transaction is being performed by a 'notaire', of course!

In mainland France, and I think it applies to DOM/TOM too, an 'acte authentique' is a 'notarized deed'

Although 'réalisation' could be translated otherwise, I think that 'deed of sale' is a more appropriate, and explicit, way, as one would expect to find the term in equivalent EN legalese.

In answer to Uma's interesting point:

I have been working closely with the notaires' profession, and these very documents, for some years now; it has been explained to me that 'notarial' simply means it is a document drawn up by a notaire (it is merely the adjective corresponding to notaire / notary), as distinct, for example, from a 'sous seing privé'; whereas 'notarized' means specifically 'made legal by being stamped, signed and sealed by the notary' — even OED makes this distinction.

HOWEVER, it is true that there seems to be a lot of confusion about these terms, and there is no doubt that even the professionals get it wrong at times.

You have to be a little careful and take some of the web references you find with a generous pinch of salt; a vast number of them come from non-legal professionals writing on French sites, or EN sites about FR property, and they are notorious for woolly and 'empirical' use of language.

There are even some that, although they *appear* to list 'acte authentique' and 'notarial deed' together, when you look deeper into them, it turns out they are actually making a distinction between the 2 terms.

One might consider, flippantly, that a shopping list could be 'notarial' if it happened to have been written by the notaire; but it would never be 'notarized'

I can't claim that this is an authoritative statement, but all I can say is that these are my own guidlines for usage, based on 10+ years experience working with these documents, and having had it explained to me face-to-face by more than one notaire.

Thanks, Lesley!
agree writeaway : ok, saw one ref of the 3 on Google that mentioned 'réalisation de vente'. but saw in legal dico, in completely different contexts, that réalisation can mean sale./why are we doing all the research?

Thanks, W/A! But we already know it IS a sale, so it is really 'réalisation de la vente'; 'completion' is a bit of a risk word to use, since people tend to misunderstand it; the act taking place is completion OK, but the Deed signed is a Deed of Sale
neutral Uma Hariharan : I find more references for acte authentique being notarial deed than notarized deed. Please explain the difference.

The complete sentence can be translated as follows : Transfer of property and entry of holding will be the day of signing the legal document of excution.

thanks
disagree Tony M : 'notarial' does not have quite the same legal meaning as 'notarized' and 'authentic' is a faux ami in this particular context

Would you please be kind enough to tell me the difference. My understanding is notarial deed is drawn and executed by a notary and the notarized deed is authenticated/validated by the notary (certified). why faux ami here?
