concerns the property sold in 2017 (deceased sister estate, the death insurance of the property reimbursed the balance of the mortgage to the bank. I inherit the property, I sell it, the notary is responsible for making the sale and paying the costs inheritance to the public treasury and I receive the money from the sale which is due to me.
Yesterday I received an email from my notary telling me:
– To date, 2 mortgage registrations still need to be cancelled. Being required by another notary for this purpose, I would be grateful if you would kindly pay the sum of €706 into the firm’s account (including €98 for the creditor and the surplus for fees and deed formalities). In fact, these costs, which are your responsibility, had not been withheld from the balance of your account operated by Master X.
You will find attached the RIB of the Study for the payment of these 706€.

Questions
Article 1 of the law of December 24, 1897
fact that there is prescription for the costs due to notaries 5 years from the date of the deeds.
Date of sale of the property Feb 2017.
Am I concerned by what the notary is asking me for, which would be the cost of fees and deed formalities?
For the 2 mortgages of 98 euros that the notary is asking me for, this is not a bailiff’s fee, are they therefore to be paid without the fees and formalities of the deed relating thereto?
Thank you for any help you can give me as I am struggling to find the answer.
