Directives
As a legal expert, the notary public has the authority to issue directives or prescriptions concerning specific legal matters. These directives are intended to resolve conflicts or clarify uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of certain regulations.
Notary Segismundo Álvarez Royo-Villanova has issued numerous directives in areas such as private international law (determining the applicable law in succession matters and specifying the economic regime of marriage), civil law, comparative law (certifying the law in force in a given country), and the interpretation of last will declarations, particularly in the context of wills.
