What do notaries do?
Notaries prepare and authenticate property transfers, wills, prenuptial agreements and company statutes for home buyers, families settling an estate and founders of companies.

In NACE, the European code those registers use, 23,505 of them (100%) sit in class 69.10 (legal activities), part of division 69 (legal and accounting activities).
