To what extent can a foreign heir take land or a condominium?

This question is specifically about “To what extent can a foreign heir take land or a condominium”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. Wills and court orders keep their legal wording and clause structure in translation. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. Once the set is complete, check it line by line against the destination's own checklist before filing. The deceased's and heirs' names must be spelled identically throughout; if not, add evidence they are the same person. Check first whether the issuing office of the source document is one the destination recognises. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. The terms that frame this page are extent · foreign · heir · take. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. Plan the schedule with room for at least one review cycle at the receiving office. Before starting, keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures, then make sure document numbers, issue dates and issuing-office names match across the set, then ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts. Land is a special case. Under the Land Code an alien may acquire land only where the law permits, and land devolving on an alien heir by inheritance must be disposed of within the period fixed by the Land Code. Condominium units may be owned by foreigners within the 49% foreign-ownership ratio of the total unit area under the Condominium Act. Confirm the conditions with the competent official at the Land Office before any transfer. In practice banks, the Land Department and registrars act on a court order appointing an estate administrator together with a court-certified copy, rather than on the will alone. Appointment of an estate administrator follows sections 1711 to 1713 of the Civil and Commercial Code by petition to the court with jurisdiction. Supporting documents typically include the death certificate, house registration, marriage or divorce certificate, heirs' birth certificates, an inventory of the estate and heirs' letters of consent. ILC handles documents only — translation, certified translation, arranging notarial-attorney certification and running legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs and embassies. It is not a law firm, does not draft wills as legal counsel, does not act as estate administrator, does not pursue claims on a policyholder's behalf and guarantees no decision by any court, registrar or insurer. Cost and lead time depend on page count, target language, how many certified sets are needed and the steps the receiving authority requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
