1 hr confidence: 
Costs of deeds Explanation: According to my Duden, verschreiben can mean "jmdm den Besitz einer Sache urkundlich zusichern". I cannot think of a perfect English translation for that but what about "costs of deeds" or "document compilation costs". Try googling "costs of deeds" and "notary expenses" and you get the hit below - bit dodcy because it is Belgian, but perhaps you can come up with something a bit more elegant than "costs of deeds"...

peer agreement (net): +1legal costs of transfer / conveyancing costs (GB) Explanation: According to Hamblock/Wessels, the second meaning of verschreiben (after to prescribe - not relevant here) is to make over or to assign. Hence transfer costs - or in UK English conveyancing costs - seems to make sense here. Almost all the Google hits seem to relate to medical prescriptions - not a lot of help |
