Notary fee invoice after gift

Well, not everyone can just appraise however they want. Of course, the notary also sets his own values and appraises as well. And his word simply counts more. If, for example, you had only appraised at [1,000 Euros], do you think you would get away with that?

Good... but the question of how the sum came about is, in my opinion, quite normal. There is no point in talking to the notary. Get an answer. And then see what to do next. K.

Well, not everyone can just estimate however they want. Of course, the notary also assigns their values and estimates as well. And their word simply carries more weight. If, for example, you had only estimated 1,000 euros, do you think you would get away with that?

And the notary is allowed to estimate however they want? Do they know the house? Would they have corrected it if we had estimated 60,000 euros?

So, I have now called the notary.

The business value is composed on the one hand of the estimated value of the property and then additional components written in the contract such as waivers of compulsory portions, residential rights, etc.
These are then added to the business value.

Germany, my world ‍♀️
I do not think it is good that everything is made so opaque for the average person. One has no choice but to silently accept and pay everything.

How much is the invoice amount?

The business value is composed on the one hand of the estimated value of the property and then additional components written in the contract such as, among others

This is also the case in purchase contracts, for example, in land purchase contracts (from municipalities) building obligations, holding periods for resale, etc. can also be taken into account to increase the business value (can, but don’t have to).

(...) that everything is designed to be so opaque for the average person.

Therefore, to increase transparency, the relevant fee schedules should actually be stated in the invoice, e.g., KostV Court and Notary Costs Act. You can trace it that way. At least.
