Work template without examining the individual case. No publication, no inquiry and no contract concluded via DDORF.
When is the protocol needed?
The protocol records what those involved document during the actual handover. The timing, transfer of ownership and requirements depend on the agreed purchase contract. Coordinate the handover with the notary and those involved; a completed protocol does not replace a purchase contract or a change in the land register.
Record meter readings and keys specifically
Write down the number, status, unit and reading date for each meter. Record keys by type and number, including side rooms and mailboxes. Photos can help as separate evidence; clearly note which recording belongs to which point.
Don't just leave open points verbally
Describe an open issue in a comprehensible manner, with responsibility and an actually agreed deadline. Empty fields do not mean confirmation that there are no defects. Legal declarations, waivers of liability or new guarantees should not be included in a work template without being checked.
Fill out and sign
Create the draft in the browser, print it or save a PDF. Check it together on site and have the final version confirmed by those involved. The template includes space for signatures; DDORF does not carry out electronic signatures or proof of identity.
