Hello,
I'm looking at buying a small hotel business and have found an interesting deal but am worried about the fact that the current owner is currently divorcing his wife.
It seems the owner is German and married a local.
Are there any specific risks or elements one should be carefull about in such a situation?
Thanks for any help/advice I could get on this.

Rene

The hotel most probably is a matrimonial asset and therefore belongs 50-50 to the husband and wife.

By the way, I believe my firm is handling this matter on your behalf! We met in Las Terrenas two or three weeks ago.
