Hello
Is it possible for a foreigner, wishing to live in Indonesia, to buy land and build a house 100% in their name?
Or - does the 'purchase' have to be done with a local named person/business too having a % ownership?
If so - how big a % ??
How would one go about buying the land and building the house legally?
Would one have to appoint a lawyer?
Then, moving forward, once the house is built - what happens if the foreigner then needs to live elsewhere for a few years, due to business?
If there is a local named on the ownership documents, would they be liable for shared maintenance costs?
The local could not just assume full ownership could they ? (Just by the foreigner being absent)
And, worse case scenario, what happens to the land and house, when the foreigner dies?
Would the heirs inherit the land/house?
Would the named local assume total ownership?
What would the heirs have to do? Who would they have to contact?
Advice is much welcome.
Thank You
