Property Contracts
You may plan to either buy or sell a property abroad. You may also find yourself in a situation where you are dealing with probate and as part of the estate administration you may have to transfer legal title of a property abroad. In those instances you are likely to require the services of a specialist with the necessary legal expertise, such as a local lawyer who can deal with the conveyancing work. This local lawyer will invariably require from you a number of documents that will facilitate the conveyancing work, and these may include the following:
- Property Contract
- Deeds
- Affidavits or Declarations
- Power of Attorney
- Identity Documents
- Tax Documents
Your local lawyer will advise you and also provide you with the necessary documents, as well give you guidance on how to complete them. In cross border transactions, and due to the nature of conveyancing work, it is likely that these documents will require to be notarised and / or apostilled. In my role as a notary public I will be able to provide the legal link to the foreign country by notarising and, if required, to arrange for the apostille.
