Notarial Deed

My comment:

Acte seems to refer, in the context of the paragraph provided, “acte notarié”.

My references:

A will in the French system, as much as in other civil systems in Europe, must be signed in front of a Public Notary, otherwise the will itself shall not be valid for execution.
