Article 1059 requires the declaration of co-ownership - and any amendment to the constituting act of co-ownership or to the descriptive statement of the fractions - to be made by notarial act en minute. The declaration is signed by all the owners of the immovable.
This formal requirement is strict: neither a meeting resolution nor a simple electronic signature is enough to create or amend the declaration. A notary is unavoidable.
The declaration comprises the constituting act of co-ownership, the by-laws of the immovable and the descriptive statement of the fractions (art. 1052 CCQ); amendments to the constituting act or the descriptive statement follow the same notarial form and are signed by the syndicate.
CondoAide keeps the declaration and its amendments in the register, but does not replace the notarial act: drafting and receiving the act is the work of a notary.
