The job of notary requires a deep knowledge of the law, and thus involves a lot of study. It also is a profession in high demand, and it contains a lot of workloads dues to the numerous laws to create legal documents. There are few notaries for the amount of work. So, it's not an easy job.
First of all, the notary is a neutral specialist who informs his clients in several spheres. He supports and protects these clients throughout their lives. Their advice makes it possible to assess the legal implications of a decision, to protect assets, and to ensure that a person’s last wishes are known and respected. In addition, he acts in the prevention, and resolution of conflict between two people. They are outstanding advisors who allow conflict resolution between several people before they go to court. They favor mediation above all. They precisely have established laws which make it possible to prevent abusive situations, and which also makes it possible to make reasonable arrangements for these two clients. Thus, the notary allows the court of justice not to overflow. The notary can also be called upon as a current specialist in court depending on the situation. The role of a notary is above all to produce legal documents, whether for a deed of sale or for a will. He must therefore keep these documents because they are authentic papers according to the law. Thus, he must never lose these documents. The veracity of the content, date and signature of these document's stands in court with no need for further authentication. The notary acts as a legal advisor in the interests of his clients. He will thus explain to his clients all the clauses of his contracts so that he is sure that they understand, and that they give them their consent to authenticate the documents.

Notaries do not always have the same schedule during a working day. However, most of the time, they always give legal advice to their clients to prevent and resolve conflicts. They research necessary information so that they can than write documents that follow specific laws. They ensure that their clients are protected in their contracts financially and legally. They may also occasionally act in court as a specialist. (Educaloi, 2022)
They usually work in an office. They usually work alone, but they can also work as a team when contracted. The notary may occasionally has visited his clients or go to court. A notary's schedule can change, because it's depending on if he makes his own schedule and if he works for himself or for a cabinet. He can therefore work evenings or even weekends. They can therefore work more than 40 hours a week. Also, the employment of notary can only be exercised in countries which have the French civil code. (Educaloi, 2022)
To become a notary, you must need to have a bachelor's degree in law, then a master's degree in notarial law. After the master, you have to complete the professional training and the exam of the Chamber of notaries. After, you must be in the register of the Chamber and you will receive a license to practice the profession of notary without that you can't work as a notary. This licence must be renewed each year with training. (Educaloi, 2022)
The notaries have an annual salary who is depends on what services they have done in a year because some are paid by the hour, and others are paid according to the service they provide. Their salaries also depend on the amount of clients they have and even the location where they work. However, the more experience a notary has, the more he is paid. In general, they earn between $30,000 and more than $100,000. (Educaloi, 2022)
Some notaries will also do, after their study as a notary, a master's degree in taxation to specialize with companies. Not all notaries do this, however.
In rare cases, a notary can be sued for not doing his job properly. For example, a notary would have badly researched a property that his client wishes to purchase and that the latter buys the property without knowing the real hidden screws of the house. The client could sue his notary, for example. If the same notary is sued several times for not doing what he must do properly, the Chamber of notaries could revoke his license to practice.
Quebec currently lacks notaries, they are retiring very late. As such, he can leave whenever he wishes, around the age of 65, the average age of a person retiring in Quebec. However, at this age, notaries have a lot of experience for the laws and this is what allows them to choose their file to be the most profitable. It also allows them to choose when he works according to their file.
To conclude, I am currently finishing my college diploma, so I still have five good years left before I can practice notarial practice. I am at the beginning of my future vocation, but with many projects such as having my office and maybe doing my taxation master's. By 2030, I should have all of this if all goes well.
