Master Droit Notarial

At Université Paris 1 - Panthéon Sorbonne, tuition comes to 250 EUR per year.

Notarial law concerns the legal framework and professional practice of notaries, who in the French legal system are responsible for drafting and authenticating official acts such as property transfers, marriage contracts, and wills. Students studying this field typically cover property law, family law, succession law, and contract law, together with the specific rules governing notarial procedure and professional responsibility. Because notarial acts carry legal authenticity and evidentiary weight, training in this area places strong emphasis on precision and adherence to formal legal requirements. Graduates commonly continue toward the additional professional qualification required to practise as a notary, or use their specialised legal training in related fields such as real estate or estate planning. This Master Droit Notarial is offered by Université Paris 1 - Panthéon Sorbonne, in Paris, France. It is a master's degree completed over two years, delivered in French, with a start date in September, based on the standard academic calendar. Annual tuition is 250 EUR. Study in notarial law generally combines substantive legal knowledge with practical familiarity with how notaries operate day to day, from verifying the identity and capacity of parties to a transaction, to drafting documents that meet strict legal formalities. Students typically examine areas of civil law most relevant to notarial work, including matrimonial property regimes, inheritance rules, and real estate transactions, alongside the professional and ethical obligations attached to the notarial function. Because notarial qualification in France requires further professional training after the master's degree, graduates generally continue their preparation before entering practice, while the legal expertise developed in the program also supports careers in property law, estate administration, and advisory roles connected to family and real estate matters.
