Hello -
I've been searching though all the 'deslinde' posts and can't quite find the information I am looking for, so thought it best just to ask, as it is quite urgent.
My husband and I are purchasing a property with a sale date of Feb 1st, but are supposed to be signing the contracts and making the transaction of payment tomorrow (in order to insure the money has gone through by the 1st.)
Everything has been going very well, but when we originally began talking with the property owner, she mentioned the possibility of needing a 'deslinde', but assured us that if this was the case, she would take care of that.
As promised, she looked into it and shortly after, she spoke with our lawyer and was told a 'deslinde' would not be required, because she is passing us her whole title.
We trusted this and thought no more of it until doing some research today to find out it seems a 'deslinde' is required on all properties as of April 2009.
Is there any exceptions to this law or reason why this property would not need a deslinde? What happens if we are to puchase it without the 'deslinde'? Bad idea? Should we hold off on making the purchase? Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much!!
