Indonesian law on land ownership is complex. There are terms such as ownership rights, use of building rights, use rights, rent rights, and compound unit ownership rights. In contrast, property ownership in Singapore is only ruled under two simple rules; freehold and leasehold, where the former reflects permanent ownership of a property, while the latter limited time of ownership.
Land or property is just a very common example of typical issues faced by expatriates in Indonesia. There are an array of other problems from acquiring traditional design or intellectual property, inter-cultural marriage and the subsequent rights of the children, work permit and visa regulation, that require attention from anyone involved in any kind of legal transactions in Bali. Being involved in a legal case or transaction is like jumping free from 10,000 feet. Doing it without a lawyer is like jumping without a parachute, it can lead to a disastrous landing – full of blood. It is essential to have a lawyer to guard your legal transaction.
