Can a lawyer draft a property deed of sale in Morocco?
Yes. Article 4 of Law No. 39-08 requires, on pain of nullity, that deeds transferring real property be executed as an authentic instrument or as a deed with a certain date drawn up by a lawyer admitted before the Court of Cassation. The firm advises you on the most suitable form.
