First questions

What we will ask first

  1. 01Where is the property, and who owns it today?
  2. 02What do the title, permits and contracts show?
  3. 03What is the dispute or decision?
  4. 04Is a foreign owner allowed?

The approach

How WONE Global usually approaches it

  1. Step 1Check title, permits and ownership rules.
  2. Step 2Coordinate legal, tax and technical review.
  3. Step 3Negotiate or resolve disputes.
  4. Step 4Register and document the outcome.

What is needed varies by country and by matter. Your WONE Global professional confirms the work, timing and fees before anything starts.

Across borders

Complications to check

Issues to assess when more than one country is involved. They are prompts, not conclusions about any country's law.

  • Different laws of contractParties sign one commercial agreement but disagree which law governs duties, damages and remedies
  • Foreign ownership of landAn asset buyer needs to verify permitted ownership interests and registrations
  • Child custody and relocationFamily members live in different countries and dispute applicable forum or orders
  • Cross-border tax residenceExecutives or entities may be treated as resident in different jurisdictions
  • Permanent establishment riskEmployees or agents abroad may create local taxable presence
