PECULIARITIES OF NOTARIAL FUNCTIONS OF OFFICIALS OF LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT BODIES

Abstract

This article focuses on the features of the notarial functions of officials of local self-government bodies. Their types and procedure are disclosed. It was determined that the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine controls the organization of notarial activity, compliance with the procedure for performing notarial acts, and compliance with the rules of notarial recordkeeping by officials of local self-government bodies authorized to do so. The main regulatory act regulating the notarial activities of officials of local self-government bodies is the Procedure for Notarial Acts by Officials of Local Self-Government Bodies Officials of local self-government regarding the protection of inheritance rights apply measures for the protection of inherited property no later than the next day from the date of receipt of an application or a mandate about the presence of inherited property that needs protection. For such protection of inherited property, an official carries out an inventory of the property, appoints its guardian and transfers the property to him for safekeeping. The description of the property is expressed in the form of a deed. To the act of description It was noted that today the system of regulatory legal acts that regulate the activities of local self-government officials, who are entrusted with the duty to certify rights, as well as facts of legal significance, and to perform other notarial actions, is insufficiently detailed in determining the powers of these entities entities and conditions for obtaining legal status, which leads to differences in interpretation and the possibility of legal conflicts. At the same time, the legislator has unclear rules for ensuring the security of personal data of clients receiving notary services, which may lead to data leakage or breach of confidentiality. That is why the legislation of Ukraine in this area needs to be reformed and improved. At the same time, in our opinion, in order to improve the quality of the activities of these subjects, it is important to conduct proper training and raise the level of awareness of these persons. This may include information campaigns, educational cases that will help these subjects to improve their professional level.
