Hello there, My name is Wes and I live on the east coast of the US. I am married to a wonderful Filipino woman and we have a three year old and another on the way. We are trying to purchase a home close to Bayawan. The current owner lives in Dum. so we need to try to find a lawyer in Dum. that can help us close this deal. I would really like to find a realestate lawyer that speaks english. Do any of you have any ideas? Thanks so much. Wes
hi wes... We used atty. Harold Jumad did a great job when we bought our house...hes e-mail is harold_jumad@yahoo.com good luck..... john moran
Attorney / Notary Alex Icao, San Jose street in the building next to smoke test center. His father is also a lawyer but not a notary and they share the same office. It is a young lawyer that is also a notary so i prefer him instead of his father. For me he did only a notary job, so i cannot judge him as lawyer but i liked the way the job was handled.
Hi John, Thanks so much for your help. I tried to email him but got a failed message saying he does not have a yahoo account. If you have any other contact info, that would be great. Wes
Thanks for your help. Do you have any way to contact him that you could share with me. Thanks again Wes
.... good start into a trusted relationship, isn't it ? I would not trust any attorney/lawyer here without knowing them personally (than you know you can't trust any at all unless money and time does not matter) and looking them into the eye when telling their sweet talk, how great they do their job and how little it costs. What works for one, can be bad for another. I might be too long here and saw too much, but buying land from abroad in Bayawan, from someone in Dumaguete using an attorney/lawyer who hopefully speaks English via recommendations online raises some red flags (and I am sure not only in my mind)
Information placed on this forum is not only read by the one who ask a question, also others read this and may decide for themselve if the information is usefull for them or not. I agree that buying a property in the Philippines from far away is not a smart idea, but if you buy a property you will need a notary, like it or not.
... who types a "n" instead of a "ñ" somewhere in the paper and some thousand dollar go with the contract into the bin ... would pay for flight and hotel, diba? I just recently had a few cold ones with a valued long-time member who spends his life in UK working towards his retirement, and his holidays here to work on issues with his property, which he thought, he bought it legally here a few years back ... Specially because DI is read by many people (around 3.000 a day), we should tell the reality... but on that we agree obviously and yes i know, "my case/girl/landlady/relatives/business-partner/___________(fill in the blanks) is really totally different.
Because this forum is read by so many, it has an educational obligation ,try,try, and try again and again.
absolutely and some learn from it, some learn from watching others, and some have to p*ss on the electric fence for themselves.... and we all did the latter here before and most likely do it again one day.... thats the little "buzz" of living here
