Hello.
The plots I inherited from my late mother were registered with old easements and mortgages. I have applied to a notary to have them deleted (beneficiaries deceased, time-barred, sole owner also beneficiary). I was not a little surprised to find that the notary only transmits the proposal for cancellation to the court electronically. The case dragged on for half a year, as the requests were sent to three different courts. Why is that, is the notary not trustworthy to see things through in clear-cut cases? In my common sense, the courts are the arbiters, and there was nothing to arbitrate here. It just puts a burden on the courts, which already have too much else to do.  There was another interesting point. On a few plots, the sole owner of the plot (an elderly person) also became the beneficiary of the easement. The request for this deletion was refused on the grounds that in order to delete the easement, this person would have had to draw up a separate contract with himself. The notary said that similar cases had been tried before and that the courts decide one way and another. To me, this is completely incomprehensible.
