"The notary is obligated to keep secret the documents and acts they authorize"
Confidentiality in Notary Offices
As a notary, your role goes beyond public authentication. You are the custodian of estate information, wills, powers of attorney, and agreements that require absolute confidentiality.
Why Notaries Cannot Use Public AIs
Imagine uploading to ChatGPT:
- A will with estate details
- A purchase deed with economic data
- A power of attorney with personal information
You would be:
- Violating professional secrecy
- Exposing third-party assets
- Breaching the Notary Law (Art. 24 - Duty of secrecy)
- Risking disciplinary sanctions
Safe Use Cases for Notaries
1. Consultation of Applicable Legislation
With Civil Code Expert: "Which articles regulate the statutory share in inheritances with descendants?"
Immediate response with exact legal references.
2. Requirements Verification
Before a deed: "What documentation do I need for a new construction deed?"
AI gives you the complete checklist according to updated regulations.
3. Internal Models and Templates
With private expert:

- Internal precedent queries
Never again search for "that deed I did last year".
