Buying a flat in Mosta, leaving property to your family or arranging a loan secured on your home all end up in front of a notary, and Dr Samuel Bezzina offers these services from an office in the middle of Mosta. He holds the warrant to practise as a notary public and is also a commissioner for oaths, which means he can take sworn statements as well as publish the formal deeds that Maltese law requires for property and succession matters.
Mosta is a large town in the centre of the island, best known for its great domed church, and it sits within easy reach of Mdina and Valletta, which our Valletta guide covers. A UK buyer, a returning Maltese family or an expatriate with a house on the island can all use the practice, and it appears in our directory of notaries in Malta.
Qualifications and languages
Dr Bezzina studied law at the University of Malta, reading for a Bachelor of Laws with European Studies, then took the Diploma of Notary Public and later graduated as a Doctor of Laws. He trained with one of Malta's largest and best-known law firms before qualifying under Maltese law and receiving his warrant, and he has built up around twenty years of experience at his Mosta office.
For clients from the UK and elsewhere, language is often as important as legal skill. He works fluently in Maltese and English, and also in Italian, French and Spanish, so a contract can be talked through in a language you are comfortable with before you sign it.
Buying and selling property
Property is the main line of work. The first formal step in a purchase is the promise of sale agreement, called the konvenju, signed once you have found a property. At this stage the notary asks both sides for identity documents and the contract by which the seller acquired the property, and the buyer receives a quote covering notary fees, expenses and any tax due. A buyer is entitled to choose their own notary.
A deposit is paid to the seller when the konvenju is signed, and in Malta this is usually 10% of the price unless the parties agree otherwise. After the promise of sale is signed and registered, the notary carries out the required searches, and if everything is in order the final deed of sale is published. Foreign buyers need a special permit, and the notary applies for it. The deed must then be registered within 15 working days and copies go to the parties. If you are weighing up a move before buying, our Malta relocation guide covers the wider picture.
The same office deals with donations, exchanges, partitions, the redemption of ground rent and leases of property.
Wills, successions and loans
A will lets you decide who receives your movable and immovable property. Without one, the notary has to apply to the court to open the succession, and the court then identifies the heirs at law. When someone dies, the notary runs searches to find out whether a will exists, publishes the declaration causa mortis in which heirs list any immovable property of the deceased, and can check for money or investments and arrange their release to the right people.
Loans are the third main area. You first agree the amount and type of loan with your bank, whether it is for a home, a vehicle, a boat or home improvements. The notary then carries out any necessary searches, drafts the deed of loan and publishes and registers it. For the lending side, mortgage advisers such as Alecta Advisors are listed nearby, and for see our directory of banks in Malta.
Other notarial services and fees
Beyond these core matters, the office offers powers of attorney, the certification and notarisation of documents, authentication of signatures, private writings, document attestations, affidavits, declaratory acts and searches. These are the papers a Maltese bank, a public office or a foreign authority might ask for.
On fees, the notary gives best estimates of fees and expenses in line with Maltese law and the Notarial Council's guidelines, discusses the options that suit your situation and keeps to the estimate as far as possible. No fee amounts are printed in advance, so ask for a quote for your own matter.
