Notice of breach of contract
It's the notice through which the notary formally tells the other party that they breached a contract, and certifies that delivery. It serves to put them in default, demand performance and create proof that they were notified, a mandatory first step in many claims.

FAQ
What happens if I sue without first giving notice of the breach?
The other side can argue that you never put them in default, and you lose time and leverage in the lawsuit. Giving notice first is what clears the path.
Why give notice through a notary?
To have reliable proof that you made a demand on the other party and put them in default, something key before you sue.
How much does it cost?
The professional fee, from $85, covers drafting and handling at the notary office; the official notary fee depends on the number of pages, and the notary's trip is charged by distance. Locating the person isn't included.
What if the other party refuses to accept it?
The notary records that too, and the notice still takes effect.
Is this the lawsuit itself?
No; it's the step before it, with your lawyer.
About this procedure
Before suing over a breach, you almost always have to formally notify the other party: put on record that they failed to perform, demand that they comply and, by doing so, put them in default. If that notice isn't done right and proven, your later claim gets weaker. A notarial notice takes care of that: the notary goes to the other party's address, delivers the notice and uses their fe pública (the notary's legal power to certify facts and documents) to certify that it was served, where, when and on whom. That way, nobody can claim later that they never knew. It's used to demand payment of an overdue debt, demand performance of a contract, give notice of a delay or in any situation where you need reliable proof that you made a demand on the other party. We draft the notice with the right legal content, coordinate the notary's trip and hand you the notarial record. Because the notary travels to serve the notice, that trip is a separate cost depending on distance, and we tell you about it up front.
Legal framework and important notes
Ley de Registros y Notarías (Registries and Notaries Law) · Código Civil (Civil Code) · Constitución de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela (Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela)
- Two keys
- The address. We need the correct one, because the notary has to travel there to serve the notice; if you don't have it, it has to be located first
- And the content. A poorly drafted notice won't help your later claim, so we build it with the precise legal demand
- The notary's travel is a separate cost depending on distance, and we tell you about it up front
We guarantee our service, not what the agency decides. If something depends on them, we tell you clearly and in time.
