Power-of-attorney
What is a Power of Attorney?
A future power of attorney is a legal document that ensures that a selected person (proxy) can act on your behalf if you lose the ability to make decisions yourself at some point in the future. This may be due to illness, dementia or other conditions that affect you mentally or physically.
A future power of attorney is therefore a very important document that ensures your future security and peace of mind.
Be sure to set one up in good time and get it registered correctly to avoid future worries.
Fortrydelsesret ved huskøb
Right of Withdrawal in House Purchases
The right of withdrawal in house purchases allows buyers to cancel a signed purchase agreement within a specified time frame. In Denmark, private individuals have a six-business-day withdrawal period starting from the day the last party signed the agreement. This is in accordance with consumer protection legislation related to property transactions.
If you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal, you must pay compensation to the seller amounting to 1% of the purchase price. The purpose of the right of withdrawal is to protect buyers from feeling pressured to finalize a transaction if they later regret their decision.
It is important to notify the seller and real estate agent in writing within the deadline. If the deadline is missed, the agreement becomes final and binding, and you will no longer have the option to exercise the right of withdrawal in connection with the house purchase.
How the Right of Withdrawal Works in Practice
Exercising the Right of Withdrawal
When a buyer wishes to exercise their right of withdrawal, it must be done in writing and within six business days after the purchase agreement has been signed. The withdrawal only becomes valid once the seller has received a written statement confirming that you, as the buyer, wish to cancel the purchase, along with payment of the 1% compensation fee based on the purchase price.
If the buyer fails to meet these requirements, the purchase agreement remains binding. In practice, this means the buyer should carefully manage all deadlines and financial obligations to ensure a proper cancellation.
It is also important to note that the right of withdrawal does not cover other expenses, such as advisory fees or agreements already made regarding loans. The right of withdrawal applies exclusively to the property purchase itself.
Hvem har fortrydelsesret ved huskøb?
Fortrydelsesretten ved huskøb gælder kun for private købere, der handler som forbrugere. Det betyder, at købere, der køber en ejendom professionelt som led i deres erhvervsaktivitet, ikke har nogen fortrydelsesret. Derudover gælder fortrydelsesretten kun for selve købsaftalen og ikke for relaterede aftaler som fx finansiering eller køberrådgivning. Hvis ejendommen er købt via et selskab eller en juridisk person, gælder fortrydelsesretten heller ikke. Det er derfor vigtigt at forstå, under hvilke omstændigheder retten kan bruges, og hvem der kan bruge den.
