Abstract
The article is devoted to the characteristics of the third group of subjects of notarial procedural legal relations, which includes persons who assist the notary in the notarial proceedings, their concept and composition. It is emphasized that, unlike persons involved in notarial proceedings, this group of subjects has no legal interest in the consequences of notarial proceedings - neither substantive nor procedural.
 The position is expressed and substantiated that the implementation of a full-fledged institute of expert participation and expertise in the notarial process should be approached carefully, especially when it comes to involving an expert to establish the facts of the subject of evidence. Involving an expert in the notarial process to establish certain
 facts means that these facts are not obvious to the notary, but controversial. It seems more reasonable to involve an expert to establish the content of the law, in particular, when applying the analogy of law or analogy of law or to clarify the content of foreign law. These provisions, by analogy with civil proceedings, should be implemented in the legislation on notaries.
 It is concluded that the regulation of the participation of a specialist in the notarial process cannot be approached in a limited way. It does not seem possible to fully outline the cases of specialist participation in notarial procedural legislation. The notary must have the dispositive right to involve a specialist in the notarial process at his own discretion, if required by the peculiarities of the notarial act.
 It is emphasized that the notarial process requires the formation of its conceptual apparatus. In this regard, the author proposes to clarify the names of the relevant subjects of notarial procedural legal relations, which currently have the name “witness”. In such notarial proceedings as testamentary wills, announcement of a secret will or taking measures to protect inherited property, the relevant entities that certify the correctness of the notarial act, to be called witnesses. Instead, in the notarial proceedings for maritime protests, the relevant actors should be called simply eyewitnesses
