Formfreiheit und Formvorschriften (+ Unterschied notarielle Beglaubigung & notarielle Beurkundung)
Summary
TLDRThis video explains the concept of 'Formfreiheit' (freedom of form) in legal transactions, highlighting the importance of specific formal requirements for certain contracts. It outlines three main types of formalities: 'Schriftform' (written form), where contracts must be written and signed; 'notarielle Beglaubigung' (notarial certification), where a notary confirms the authenticity of signatures; and 'notarielle Beurkundung' (notarial certification and authentication), where both the content and signatures are verified. These formalities apply to various legal actions like property transactions, employment contract terminations, and marriage agreements, ensuring legal validity.
