On some theoretical problems of the Modern notary in the Russian Federation: public law aspect

The paper presents an analysis of problematic aspects of the organization and activities of the notary in the Russian Federation. The authors conduct a study of the problem of legislative regulation of the notary's activity in the Russian Federation, consider the question of the legal nature and nature of the notary and notarial activity, as well as some problems of the conceptual apparatus of the legislation on the notary. In the course of the study, the authors point out the relevance of the issue of reforming the current regulation, examines the gaps in the conceptual apparatus, propose a definition of the concept of "notary legal relationship" and highlight the features that are inherent in these legal relationships. In addition, the authors argue the position on the public-legal nature of notarial legal relations, and also additionally indicate the special status of a notary and consider his powers taking into account such status. Based on the results of the study, solutions to the problems described above are proposed, and further prospects for the development of regulation of notary activity are outlined. One of the most important conclusions of the study is that disputes arising from notarial legal relations also have a public legal nature and should be considered according to the relevant procedural rules. That is, not in a lawsuit, but in the order of administrative proceedings.
