Sophie Sabot-Barcet was elected Tuesday, October 25 president of the Superior Council of Notaries (CSN), the first woman to hold this position since the creation of this professional organization almost 80 years ago.
Notary in Monistrol-sur-Loire (Haute-Loire), the new president replaces the Isère notary David Ambrosiano in this position, for a two-year term.
"I hope (...) that we continue to draw more of the consequences of our public service mission in today's world, in a relationship of trust with the State, but also that we reinforce the foundations of notarial businesses," Ms. Sabot-Barcet, 51, was quoted in a statement as saying.
The CSN is the professional organization of notaries in France, the only body authorized to speak on behalf of all notaries. It represents the profession with the public authorities, determines its general policy, gives its opinion on draft laws and provides services to notaries.
France has more than 17.000 notaries for some 5,48 million deeds drawn up each year, according to the CSN, a public utility establishment created in 1941.
Notaries are delegates of State authority and as such participate in the public service of land registration as well as in the collection of tax revenue.
