Aspindza had no notary since 2014, the notary office in Vani terminated its operation from 2015. The Notary who was appointed in May 2014 left the Municipality in 7 months and moved to Tbilisi to work in February 2015. From now, the Notary Ms. Mari Shaverdashvili serves the town of Aspindza and the Notary Mr. Gigi Golubiani - Vani.

The first discussion platform on issues of the land administration and management among the State Authorities was held on March 2 with the support of EU Project “Support the Development of Private and Administrative Law Systems in Georgia”. The goal of this arrangement was to exchange / discuss the information on problems and challenges related to the land registration among the authorities. The public debate was attended by judges, lawyers, the representatives of the National Agency of Public Registry, the Notary Chamber, National Bureau of Enforcement, National Agency of State Property, Architecture and Property Management Service of City Hall, the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, Agriculture and Environment.

The offsite work meeting was held in Telavi among the representatives of Notary Chamber of Georgia, Tbilisi Court of Appeals and the National Bureau of Enforcement. The parties discussed the legal consequences of the enforcement order issued by a Notary during the court proceedings. A notary was granted the authority to issue an enforcement order since 2009, but the notary issued it only upon the pledge or mortgage agreements until 2012. In 2012, the competence of the notary increased and he/she had the right to issue an enforcement order on the basis of any contract related to the financial obligations. If a contract is concluded in the Notary, the condition of issuing the enforcement order is included in the agreement upon the consent of both parties.
