Comment
The Le Chapelier law of June 17, 1791, which dissolved the guilds, thus the companies of notaries, and then the law of October 6, 1791, abolished the royal, apostolic and seigniorial notaries as well as the venality and heredity of their offices. However, the authors of this second law, recognizing the necessity of the authentication of acts and the duty to advise, instituted notaries public. Thus, the notaries remained in practice by changing their quality. However, after a decade of legislative trial and error, the First Consul Bonaparte reorganized and modernized the notary's office with the organic law of 25 Ventôse of the year XI (16 March 1803).This true "code of the notary's office" is still the reference text for the profession today.
