A dispute arose concerning the enforceability of a contract for the sale of real property, where the seller later claimed the written agreement was invalid because it was not executed before a notary, which is a requirement for property transfers, but the court upheld the validity of the preliminary agreement, reasoning that while a formal notarial act is necessary for the final transfer of ownership rights in real estate, a simple signed promise to sell, evidencing a meeting of the minds on the object and the price, constitutes a binding contract enforceable between the parties, even if the transfer itself has not yet occurred through the required formal deed.
