A contract was formed for the sale of a property with a stipulation in the deed that the buyer would assume responsibility for any existing encumbrances on the property, which the buyer accepted, despite the notary's failure to fully detail the nature of those charges during the reading of the deed; when the buyer later sought to be released from the sale claiming nullity due to a lack of informed consent regarding the extent of the servitude burdens, the court held that the notary's failure to provide a comprehensive explanation did not constitute a fatal flaw that invalidated the contract, as the essential nature of the encumbrances was mentioned, and the buyer, having the opportunity to review the full deed, explicitly accepted the terms regarding the assumption of existing charges, thereby affirming their consent.
