Thread: Buy property in Indonesia mixed couple

bert, as you probably know, I respect you and your viewpoint (certainly more so than i do the other main contributor to this thread) - and yes, i'm likely being overly negative purely in defiance of roy's nonsense. for that i apologize. but still having said that bali is full of people wanting to take your buck - but that's the same anywhere in the world. the question is, how credible is the legal system that protects the rights of individuals? i think in the case of indonesia overall, one can safely sum up, that it's not very credible..

and the fact remains, they cannot argue a case in court

- they could if they bought a law degree - it would likely only cost USD $800 from a reputable institution..

BaliLife, if you knew anything then you would know what I say has little or NOTHING to do with me!

On the other hand, it has EVERYTHING to do with my wife and her very prominent family. I assure you, I am NOT naïve, but I also can assure you that my wife’s family has far more than average influence in our village and adat.

You might try an exercise other than jumping to conclusions my friend, as jumping to conclusions is clearly not working for you!

As for my “nonsense” you have already admitted that you’ve never lived in Bali...only Java. So, what do YOU really know about things here in Bali? Although close by, Java and Bali are worlds apart.

Sorry if I piss you off so much, but trust me, I’m not about to miss any sleep on that! Cheers!

I think that is called grasping at straws! Not them...YOU!

Our lawyer, Pak Indrah, is an ex-Jesuit priest with two doctorate degrees, and trust me, he didn't find those degrees in a box of cereal! :roll:

Ok. For all others.....

Hire my wife! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just can't seem to get worked up that much any more Bert! It just isn't worth the high blood pressure! :P

Bert, I’m going to bed, but ask yourself this question: How can a foreign husband, a man who NEVER had any land rights in the first place “sign off” on those “rights?”

That is ludicrous, or as my attorney would say, “a document by its beginning dooms itself to failure.”

So, one more time...hire an attorney!!!! Good night all!
