A contract for the sale of land, executed before a notary, was validly formed even though a subsequent formal deed was never signed by the parties, as the preliminary agreement was complete and binding, establishing the obligations of both the seller and the buyer concerning the property and the price; the court held that the execution of the notarial deed was a formality subsequent to the contract, not a condition for its existence, and therefore the failure to execute it did not nullify the prior commitment.
