Work / Job Relocation to Lodz from Mexico [4]

Hi, It's nice to hear you. I live in Lodz and it's average salary here. Please keep in mind that 6 400 gross, is 4 500 net (that is how much you earn each month, rest of it are the taxes and contributions to national insurance company called ZUS). Most people in PL earn around 5 000 PLN. If you and your wife will work both and earn around 5 000 PLN per month each, it will be quite good for you and you can live on a good level. But if you will be only earn it could be not enough for you both.

I think that Lodz is quite good place to start. The prices here are smaller than in Warsaw (our capital) and you can find apartment in reasonable price. From the other hand if the money want satisfied you, you can looking for a job in Warsaw or some other city in PL. Lodz is also poorer that the Warsaw.

If you have any further question or need any assistance in Lodz you can contact with me at grzegorz@sslg.pl.

For example:
- rent of 2 beds studio in city center (40-60 square meter) cost around 2 000 - 3 000 PLN;
- rent a room in Tricity area Gdańsk - Gdynia - Sopot (on the seaside) - 150-300 PLN per night;
- simple dinner for one person 20-35 PLN;
- dinner in fancy restaurant 40-80 PLN;
- medium pizza (40cm) - 20-30 PLN;
- bottle of coke 2 l - 5-6 PLN;
- beer in restaurant - 8-12 PLN;
- beer in the shop 3-6 PLN;
- monthly ticket for local transport (busues, tramp) - 148 PLN;
- sim card with unlimited talks and 10 GB internet - 50 PLN.

Dear MOD,
I think it's such a big problem to do this but everything depends what kind of company do you want to set up? Trading as sole trader is the cheapest way and you need only to register your own company in register of entrepreneurs "CEIDG", then you need to fill some papers to US - polish Inland Revenue and ZUS - our Social Insurance Institution, get the bank account and you can run your own company. Registration in CEIDG is free of charge and you can do it with the assist od someone else via internet. Of course if you want to register the company such ltd or partnership then you need to pay some money. In the case of ltd the minimum share capital is 5.000 PLN, and you need to pay additionally for registration in the KRS 500 PLN. To advice you something more I need more information. Please write me on priv or mail me.

Real Estate / Polish law on inheritance and real estate [42]

Bren
Dear Bren,
it's difficult to advice something wright in this matter, without viewing a documents. The point is according to the polish civil code, children and the spouse of the testator have the equal right to the inheritance. If testator wants to exclude someone from the inheritance he must prepare the will and disinheritence him. When testator left, disinheritance may also require others heir. To take such action the testator or other heirs must have some basics. In polish law the basics for this will be for exemple situation when one the the heir left the testator, broke touch with him, caused him harm and so on. This basics must be real and cann't be false. If the testator leave his first family probably it wasn't be a good basics to disinheritance his children. However everything depends from the circumstances and your actions.

In my opinion your father in law disinherited your wife under pressure the family to make her off from the assetss. I can tell you more about it whole case, but to do this I need see the docs.

If you have any additional question please let me know.

I didn't mention that if you you take a legal action against disinheritance of your wife and get positive judgement, your wife will be entitled to the concept. The concept is a part of the inheritance after her father. According to article 991 polish civil code The heir who get the inheritance under the will is obliged to paid it for entitled person.

Art. 991. Concept
§ 1. The deceased's descendants, spouse and parents who would be named to inherit under the law are entitled, if permanently without the capacity to work or if the entitled descendant is a minor, to two-thirds of the value of the share in the estate which would fall to him in the case of statutory (intestate) succession, and in other cases, to one-half of the value of that share (legitim).

§ 2. If an entitled person has not received the legitim due to him in the form of a donation made by the deceased, or by being named to inherit, or in the form of a legacy, he is entitled to a claim against the heir for payment of the sum of money needed to cover or supplement the legitim.
