Law / Inheritance Law in Poland (protecting myself from in laws) [25]

Umm,what does that mean ?lol all my aquaintances might get a cheap champagne after our funeral(I think we should add that in will)

Law / Inheritance Law in Poland (protecting myself from in laws) [25]


Does that mean that my sister in law/brother in law and there kids can still put a claim incase of me and my wifes death? And my kids will have to share the properties with them?

That's why me and my wife made a will in Poland and in US mentioning Polish properties to be transferred to our kids specifying there identities.


And Please before even you think to make sure it will not be a burden.My son in the last 5 years couldn't give up Polish citizenship(Application sent in 2013) and had huge problems getting top security clearance for his job.Smart me got it for him when he was a toddler and has rather become a curse for him now and he is not allowed to leave the country without permission.

What I meant was not about immediate relatives like spouse,offspring etc,I meant that the relatives/siblings etc have no rights to claim only the spouse and kids with will in Poland.Parents lately I heard can ask for living expenses even from living children.Thats why I mentioned will in Poland.

But incase of OP if she gets the will in Australlia executed with Polish property mentioned her hubbis siblings will have hard time as she can ask her Aussie court decision executed in Poland since cases in Polish courts linger for years and a decision could be made quicker there(only if she is not a Polish citizenor she will be under Polish laws and not Australian)

Does that mean separation of assets?If that is the one you mentioning then its not a cure its just delaying the problem as when one spouse dies the other spouse inherits and the problems from siblings start all over again.

Also incase after making the will one spouse dies the other can quickly get the will formed in her native country executed then the court system in Poland,also with Polish property(if its mentioned in the will in her country. The only solution suggested to me by a lawyer and notariuz is to pay the notariuz 200pln and draft a will and file it as then the greedy ones will have to first prove that the will was wrong.

It is Polish law when an property is bought by a married person the other spouse has to sign on the deed as well(new law in 2017 or18,before one party could buy on both names without mortgage) until one spouse writes a written statement that he/she has nothing to do with it.But it is always better to buy together and have a official will.

@OP,Go to a Notariozs and draw up a will and the notary will register it also.I have done that with my investments in Poland and draw up a will in your native country and register it there as well(I know about USA not about Australlia) and do mention your property in Poland or otherwise,establish a estate and one of the spouses or immediate kids will be the beneficiary of the estate including Polish investments.

Real Estate / The current property boom in Poland is a bubble [342]


Maybe they are right in there own way,its like22 years to come.There are ups and downs in 2 decades,and maybe they are predicting the worse slow down then.The current slow down I think will continue till 2015/16 when it will bottom out,but the slow down now will be gradual(I think),until banks choke,people will collect money and cant wait to invest(like its happening in states now) and slowly the market picks up.

Australia / I am moving back to Poland - to live from Australia. Is it a good idea? [29]

I am nowhere near Polish just married to a polish woman 25 yrs,coming to Poland 13 years,and decided to live in Poland after kids grew out.Did some investments and in process of moving full time there from states.Love it,adore it,cherish it,will die for it.We are not rich maybe land rich but cash poor in this economy but can afford better living standards than in states where health insurance costs her 1200$ a month with heavy copay compared to 900pln in Poland.with place to live costs /will be less then 10k$ a year while we pay over 13k just in house realestate tax and insurance not to mention repairs property maintence like lawn care/snow removal.If you have a place to live and a small income you will just do fine.I did live in sydney for 71/2 yrs of my student life but Poland is different.

we are 15+ years older then you are so maybe your needs are different but Poland does suit us...even though my polish sux.I am sure you are making the right move if thats what you expect from life.Remember life comes once:)))

Real Estate / Can foreigner buy apartment in Warsaw, Poland? [39]

I dont know if you know the difference between a town home and a condominium?In Poland you need no permit to buy a condominium, but being a non EU passport holder you do need permission to buy land(any kind) and a house(since land is involved) there are other ways to get around it ...popular one is to make a small company other is spouse name(if u are married) if they Polish passport holders.In Poland most flats are condominiums, but check it out as some commercial places are also same.You have to get somebody reliable to go to the respective municipal registry court and get the papers the morning before you close as NOTARIUSZ (Polish lawyer for both seller and buyer) mostly is a fuked up person who plays with his rules and believes (tamed by commies as an exclusive breed which still exists)Poles are so worried if foreigners buy there land they will steal it:))and run away:))

Real Estate / The current property boom in Poland is a bubble [342]


Honestly,why you think was wiser?During that time in 2000 i bought a flat in centre paid 2500zl a sq mtr for 39odd sq metres.I wish someone would have guided me and I wouldve bought a house there.But I underestimated Poland and no one to guide me until in 2004 i woke up and started buying.After that till 2008 I kept on buying...but right now the prices vary so much in centrum that its unbeleiveable from 3k a sq m to 24 k a sq m.I wish I could post links here to prove but I dunno how to.....just to proove look at otodom commercials on allegro.pl,infact im now looking something for 10% return which i did but dont know yet till i meet the realtors who freeking lie to get people calling them to show another fuked up property.
