FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The fee for the one-time retrieval of the title deed is HUF 3,600, which is necessary so that the buyer and the lawyer editing the documents can make sure that the seller is really entitled to sell the property.
The administrative service fee is HUF 6,600, which is practically the fee for the land registry procedure.
Within a few weeks after the purchase of the property, the duty fee to be paid by the buyer is determined, taking into account the value of the property.
For the complete conclusion of the contract, for the drafting of documents, and for representation in the proceedings before the competent land registry office and the tax office, the document drafting lawyer is entitled to a lawyer’s fee, the amount of which is subject to agreement.
In many cases, a certain amount is transferred even before the conclusion of the sales contract, in order to ensure that the seller sells the property to the buyer, and not to an interested party promising a later or even higher purchase price. In this case, however, it is worthwhile to proceed with particular caution and put the transfer of such an amount in writing.
The deposit is returned to the buyer upon cancellation, however, the deposit has a sanctioning nature.
The party responsible for the failure of the real estate sales contract loses the deposit, or is obliged to pay back the deposit received twice. The amount of the deposit is usually 10% of the purchase price. The condition of the deposit is that the amount of money transferred in this way is classified as a deposit by the parties and the buyer hands it over to the seller.
Life partners are not legal heirs of each other, so they can only inherit one after the other if they make a will in favor of each other.
It is a typical misconception that life partners (without marriage) automatically become each other’s legal heirs after living together for a certain period of time or in the case of a common child. And many people mistakenly think that such life partnership is equivalent to marriage, so the same inheritance rules apply to life partners as to spouses.
Only the closest relatives – e.g. children, spouse – are entitled to the obligatory share.
It is important that exclusion from inheritance is not the same as denial. As long as the denied person will not benefit from the inheritance at all, the heir excluded from the inheritance may claim the obligatory share. In the same way, the legal heir who was left out of the will can count on the obligatory share.
If the heir inherits a debt, he/she will only be responsible for the debt to the extent of the inherited property. And if someone refuses the inheritance, he/she will not inherit anything, neither property nor debt.
