Law / Classic car registration in Poland [12]

Merged:

What about that classic car in Poland?!

I have received my 1973 Alfa Romeo Montreal.

My father in law tried to pay the akzysa (I know I got that word wrong) However, they did not allow him to pay because of the age of the car 48 years (not yet 50). Nevertheless, I must still pay akzysa within 14 days, unless the car is 50 years old. Welcome bureaucracy. I am unfortunately in Mexico, so I dont have the full overview of the situation. But I doubt it would help even if I was there, present.

Can anyone recommend me some "expert" on the subject of classic car import? I live in Bialystok

The car require 2-3 years of work, before I can even begin thinking of getting it on the road. Nevertheless, the recommendations at the traffic office was to get yellow plates on, and dont pay akzysa. Regardless of what I wrote above!

I want it to carry white license plates. The reason if that I plan to sell it abroad. And selling an antique (Yellow plates) is apparently difficult, and expensive.

Law / Putative Spouse Poland [8]

@cms neuf
Yes, several countries do actually. Actually I think common law Spouse is mostly used to describe such relationships. Spain as an example.

Law / Last Will and Testament - should items go to a Polish or EU person? [24]

Very old this thread. But I add my comments anyway as I am currently writing my Last will.

As a foreigner living in Poland, I have a lawyer who I run to with all my financial matters. The advice I received was as follows:

"The best for You according to our law is to write last will with Public Notary (in polish NOTARIUSZ).

When You will put Your last will in notary act it has presumption of truth and its irrefutable.

The notary put Your last will in to official register.

In Your case it is necessary to meet at the same time with sworn translator.

Than it will be done according to law and legally effective."

I can also write my last will without having it notarised, only by using two witnesses. However, I have very bad experience with the polish bureaucracy, and I truly believe that the best way to proceed, is to in fact pay the cost for the Notary.

THAT being said, I have already experienced that a Notarised document was not accepted in a public office.

There are some question that I can not find information about ( I have not yet visited the Notary)

1: If married, Can a person still "secure" property for the Children (Spouse would be trustee until they reach 18)
2: If not married, Will the "Life Partner" still be considered as Spouse?
3: If not married, Could one still give 100% of Estate to the life partner/mother of the child?

Real Estate / About terminating my flat contract in Poland [23]

The length and troubles people are willing to go through to break a contract. Why sign a contract that you do not plan to honour?

I have been a so called "landlord" in the past, and I am now getting back in to it, in Poland this time.

In general, my experience is that a Landlord will do very little in such situation, even when there is a bulletproof contract. There are several reasons for that. The Law is one reason. But my personal feeling is that it cost me less money, and effort to find new tenants, than to pay a lawyer, or go through the court system.

It took me a few year as a landlord to learn how to filter out people like Ozzy (Thread starter)
Breaking a contract, or just leave may very well bite you in the ass next time you are trying to find a roof over your head.

And in the end, Ozzy, your contract seem quite simple in fact. So probably there is no reason to put your boxing gloves on. You have tried (but failed) to find a new person to take over the contract. Explain this to the landlord, show him the receipts, and/or explain in writing what exactly you have done to fullfill the requirement of the contract.

I will check that out. I wasn't thinking in those directions as I wanted to avoid any bureaucracy, but it might be an idea. Thanks

Law / How long can an object stand on my property before it is considered «Mine» ? [25]

@mafketis
The reason why I ask if how long it takes before I can consider it mine, is that I want to give it away on olx, - or even sell it...

I know the owner well, and he has decided to not reply to any call, msg or email. I could have it delivered to him. I could also make him a personal visit. But he is not worth that much of my time.
