DiasporaDon't rely on family alone
Many diaspora losses come from trusting a relative or friend without independent checks. Use a verified professional and keep everything in writing.
Use a power of attorney carefully
If someone signs for you, give a notarised power of attorney limited to the specific property and price.
Ask for video visits and reports
Request a live video walk-through, dated photos, and a written site-inspection report before paying.
Pay traceably
Pay by bank transfer to the notary's account rather than cash or to individuals.
General information only, not legal advice. Check current rules with a notary, lawyer or the relevant office.
