Resources
This applies to any file. If you do not have everything, come anyway: the meeting is there to take stock.
When printed, the on-screen explanations drop out: only the list remains, to tick by hand.
Understanding more
It is used to establish the facts: what you want to achieve, your family and financial situation, your deadlines. The notary then tells you what is possible, what is not and what will need to be obtained. There is no bad question, and you do not need the vocabulary.
The notary also checks your identity and that you understand what you will sign: that is what makes the deed hard to challenge later.
Bring your documents, even incomplete: better to learn that a paper is not needed than the reverse. Write your questions down beforehand, because the unwritten ones are the ones you forget.
Give your preferred language at the first contact (French, English or Spanish): understanding exactly what you sign is what makes consent valid.
To prepare
This list is indicative. Depending on your situation, other documents may be required or some may not apply. It does not replace the instructions you will be given for your own file.
