Master Droit Notarial

For Master Droit Notarial, tuition comes to 250 EUR per year.

Universite de La Reunion, in Saint-Denis Cedex 9, France, offers the Master Droit Notarial (Notarial Law), a specialization within the discipline of private law focused on the profession of notary. This field covers the legal areas most relevant to notarial practice, including property and real estate law, family law, inheritance and succession law, and contract law, along with the procedures involved in drafting and authenticating legal documents. Typical subjects include real estate transactions, matrimonial property regimes, wills and estate planning, and the professional obligations that govern notaries in handling legally binding documents on behalf of clients. Students learn to interpret and apply civil law rules in the specific context of property transfers, family arrangements, and inheritance, and to understand the procedural requirements for documents to carry full legal authority. The discipline is closely tied to the civil-law tradition and to the specific role notaries play in French legal practice, verifying and formalizing agreements outside of court. Graduates typically pursue further professional training toward becoming a notary, or work as legal advisors in real estate transactions, estate planning, or family law matters within notarial offices, law firms, or financial institutions. This is a master's-level program for students who already hold a degree in law and wish to specialize in notarial practice. It spans two years and is positioned to begin in September, with yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Instruction is conducted in French, reflecting the French civil-law content at the core of the program.
