Now he wants to sell his house to people who cannot afford it. They went with my father to the notary, who is also a real estate agent, to have a construction drawn up in which the house is paid for in advance for almost half and the rest with a 'vente a terme'. This means that the buyer will pay off the house in approximately 8 years. We do not agree with this and feel that my father's mental state is being abused. My father will also come to the Netherlands within a year to live in a nursing home. Talking to the buyer does not help. We have sent a registered letter in French to the notary explaining the situation. My father does not foresee the consequences and we, as his children, want to help him to make everything go as neatly and honestly as possible. We have a notarial power of attorney in our possession, so we are allowed to act on his behalf. In our letter to the notary we therefore request that we are aware of all subsequent steps that will be taken. The registered letter has been received by the notary, but unfortunately we have not heard anything from him. Is there anything we can do? \n\n\u003ch4\u003eLawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n First, you need to obtain a statement from a doctor stating that your father is not sufficiently competent to understand the consequences of the agreement. Without such a statement, you probably cannot do anything. Since French law applies to the agreement, you will then need to engage a lawyer in France. There are Dutch lawyers who specialize in French law and have a partnership with French lawyers, and there are also firms that have offices in both the Netherlands and France.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55005733814621,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-56353-vader-woont-in-frankrijk-en-heeft-de-ziekte-van-alzheimer-nu-wil-hij-zijn-huis-verkopen-aan-mensen","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
