Changes to the Legal Rules on Notarisation, the Civil Code, and the Land Registry and Notary Codes

An important legislative package relating involving changes to the Legal Rules on Notarisation, the Civil Code, and the Land Registration and Notaries Codes was published in February of this year. The package includes the Laws numbered 8/11, 9/11 and 11/11, all of 16 February and, in essence, its aim is to modernise, simplify and reduce the amount of bureaucracy in specific areas of day-to-day legal business in Angola, with particular emphasis on the real estate sector.
