Abstract

Purpose of the study. The article examines the problems of theory and practice related to the reform of the notary system in Russia. It is determined that strengthening state control over the activities of notaries should be carried out in compliance with the principle of independence, self-financing and self-government of the notary, which will ensure the desired balance of public and private elements in the notary sphere. It is determined that the unjustified expansion of the functionality of justice bodies in matters determining the organization of notary activities calls into question its effectiveness as one of the most popular forms of protecting the rights of citizens and legal entities in the context of undisputed jurisdiction.
