Abstract

The study analyzes the historical aspect of the formation of the notary in Ukraine. The scientific analysis of notary development, definition of notary system, determination of a place of the modern notary in the legal system is carried out. The introduction of European experience in the notary of Ukraine provides an opportunity to exchange practical skills, improve national legislation and unify Ukrainian documents in accordance with international standards. The legislative consolidation of "notary in Ukraine" is analyzed. It is the Law of Ukraine “On Notaries” that discloses the concept of notary as a system of bodies and officials who are obliged to certify rights, as well as facts of legal significance and perform other notarial acts, provided by law, in order to give them legal credibility. The main tasks of the notary are defined, namely ensuring the protection and defense of the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals and collective entities, as well as promoting the proper implementation of the rights and responsibilities of these entities, ensuring the protection and safeguarding of all property forms, crime prevention, general strengthening of the rule of law and maintenance of the proper level of law and order. The functions of the notary are outlined, which are constantly evolving and give notaries more powers when performing notarial acts. The types of legal systems of notaries are studied, and the place of Ukrainian notaries in the system is determined. A special place in the notary system of Ukraine is the introduction of digital technologies, namely electronic registers, which allow to speed up the performance of notarial acts. It is concluded, that the notary in Ukraine is constantly in the dynamics of development and improvement of both the system itself and notaries in general. The international experience of leading countries allows for constant exchange of skills and improvement of national legislation
