A contract for the sale of land, finalized by a notarial deed, was held valid despite the seller later arguing that the deed did not accurately reflect the true price because a portion of the consideration was allegedly paid in cash outside the deed, which constituted a simulated transaction intended to evade taxes; the court dismissed the seller's claim, reasoning that the authenticity and binding force of the formal notarial act, which attested to the full payment of the stipulated price, could not be challenged by a party to the act based on unwritten evidence asserting a hidden, lower price, as this would undermine the public trust inherent in official documents.
