Digital

a document deposited with a notary will be possible only in a remote format. That is specifically go to the notary office is not necessary – all documents are transferred to the notary online. But to go to pass the document through a notary, including in electronic form, today – the notary can translate a document from paper into digital form, preserving its validity. Given the current situation, the value of such stories is more than obvious.

With the help of a notary you can send, say, a power of attorney from Moscow to Irkutsk in just a few minutes and pay for it in the region of 150 rubles

However before you get to the notary, the documents will have to travel through ordinary Internet, the same clouds. There is a risk that the trail will remain there and thus your personal archives will be accessible to outsiders?

Konstantin Korsik: Info will not flow through open channels. It can be downloaded either directly in a Single information system of notaries through a special service on the website of the Federal notary chamber, or pass through the portal of public services. That is, the file will be held over secure lines, in any of the cloud will not fall.

Among other innovations, I would also note the use of notaries of biometric identification in a situation when the applicant is unable to produce the identity document, or the document is uncertain.

soon all notarial documents in paper form will be equipped with special machine-readable markings which can be easily and quickly verify their authenticity.

In General, as digitalization changes the legal procedures? Do not cancel if the technology the notary?

Konstantin Korsik: Digitalization is, of course, the main trend of recent years. Today we are already talking about “digital rights” and “digital deals”. And here, unfortunately, many people forget that pribavtion, the word “digital” does not change the essential need of civil turnover and its members – safety and protection of the right. Some people think that the protective function will assume directly the advanced technology used in the new format of relations. However, experience has shown that this is a serious misconception.

first, even the most innovative computer program is not able to verify the real will of the parties to the transaction and its conformity with what is prescribed in the contract. This man may not understand certain nuances of the transactions, or even all of its essence.

How many cases when, for example, a pensioner thought that signs the contract rent, but in fact it turned out that he gave his property and then lost the right to live in it.

From the fact that the contract will be presented on a computer screen or phone, a man far removed from the law, it is easier to understand it just will not work. And here’s another obvious risk: simplified procedure and virtually immediate adoption of a legally significant decision in the digital environment increase the vulnerability of citizens who are not trained in the legal and technological sense. And there are many such people, if not most.

in addition to unawareness of actions may occur the risk that someone from the parties to the transaction participates in it under duress. This problem is impossible to detect either by on-line questionnaires of the applicant before the transaction or remotely by voice or retina of the eye. In addition, the proposed as the basis for digital transactions in the form of smart contracts, blockchain principle does not imply making changes in already concluded contract, even if there was such a need.

In the end, the risks of rights violations and write about this man.
