Once the decision is made, what is the way forward? Plan the move well from the outset. Consider legal and fiscal implications. For example, which asset structure would be best for making the purchase? Will financing be private – or provided through a legal structure? Does your estate planning require property with a lower net value? Do you need to adapt your will or would it be best to have a foreign will made?

There are further complexities to consider. Remember that each country requires its own sales contracts. Be advised that regionally, the role of a notary public can differ. And what if the contract were to be suddenly dissolved? In that case, the possibility of introducing terms must be explored.
