Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the organizational and legal foundations and self-governance of the notary institute in Uzbekistan. The work examines the main stages of the development of the notarial system in the republic, the formation of the first notarial bodies, and the changes that occurred in the legal system in the last years of the USSR. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the regulatory legal acts regulating the activities of the notary, as well as the process of their professional training and accreditation. The author studies the influence of the Soviet legal system on the organization of notaries in Uzbekistan, reveals the main problems and peculiarities that existed during the Soviet era, and assesses their impact on the development of the notarial profession in the post-Soviet period. The article also examines the legal and organizational measures taken in Uzbekistan to improve the activities of notaries within the framework of the general legal reform in the Soviet Union. The article emphasizes the need to harmonize legislation in order to increase the independence and efficiency of notaries, as well as to ensure a balance between the interests of society and the professional community of notaries. The prospects for improving the legal regulation of notarial activities, taking into account decentralization trends and strengthening self-regulation in various areas of law, are studied.
