Q: Purhasing property and transferring Hukou

Hi,

 

My mom (US citizen) is in the process of selling her apartment in Guangzhou.  The apartment was left to her by my grand mother and is specified in my grand mother's will. My mom also has all the necessary papers to indicate her ownership.  She found a buyer for the apartment and contracts have been signed but the deal hasn't been finalized yet.  The problem is that my cousin has her hukou registered to the apartment and is refusing to give it up (even though she is not on any legal paper work, has not lived in the apartment in over 15 years and also owns her own apartment).  She is basically black mailing and not letting the new buyer have the hukou.  My mother contacted a family friend who is a lawyer who basically said that there's nothing they can do, the courts will not address property issues...  

 

My question is, can the buyer still transfer their hukou to the new apartment?  

 

Thanks,

 

Lana

Payoff time! My wife owns 1/3 of the "family apartment" legally but cannot sell that share, transfer or otherwise do anything without her mother's approval (and the greedy old vulture will NEVER release her claws from anything). If your cousin is not resident in GZ, it may be easier to have her pushed out as "non-resident/non-residing" but in the long run, you'll have to pay her off to release the place. Weird thing about China...wills don't really mean anything as anyone related by blood or by marriage can claim a stake in the deceased's property.

But the property is in my mother's name, she is able to legally sell the apartment but the new buyer can't transfer their hukou, or can they?  I don't get this, sounds completely insane.  We're offering to pay her off but she wants the whole thing, super greedy.

This is the leading cause of family homicides in China during Spring Festival (you can look it up!) Property, especially with the value of said property, makes people really ugly. My own mother-in-law tricked and deceived (!!!) her mother-in-law into signing over her third of the apartment ownership (which is how my wife came to own a third). It's not just a matter of whose name the ownership is under but who has claims against the property. Find a buy-out price or find "alternate means" to get your cousin to change her mind.

A:https://chinabyteaching.com/teaching-english-in-china/am-i-eligible-to-teach-in-china/ 6. Age requirements There is no single nationwide age rule applied consistently across all of China. In reality, most Z Visa approvals tend to cap somewhere around the mid-50s, but how strictly this is applied varies by province and employer. Age is often more of a hiring preference than a legal rule. Kindergartens, for example, may prefer younger teachers, while international schools often view age as experience and are more flexible. Ironically, even ‘young’ and ‘older’ are subjective – some Chinese employers might deem 40 to be ‘too old’ to teach kindergartners! If you are at all concerned about age, it is best to raise this early with recruiters to avoid wasting time with the wrong job applications. At the end of the day, you should strive to find a school that appreciates your experience. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china Requirements to teach in ChinaTeaching English jobs are competitive in China, and to teach legally in China, you'll have to meet a few qualifications:English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL).Bachelor’s degreeCriminal background checkTeaching certificate: TEFL, CELTA, or teaching license from your home country.Authenticated documents: Bachelor's degrees, criminal background checks, and teaching certificates will need to be legalized and authenticated. This helps international employers recognize their authenticity. Be under the Chinese retirement age of 55 (women) or 60 (men) years old The qualifications for teaching abroad in China are strict, and teaching in China on a tourist or business visa is illegal and can lead to fines or deportation.   -- icnif77
