On the expenditure is the following:
- The work of a notary - about 50 EUR
- In the case of gift tax will amount to 2% of the cadastral value of the property, I will be able to calculate the exact amount you received from your documents in the apartment (an extract from the Land Registry), or inform the property cadastre number;
- Translation of the power of attorney to the Latvian language and notarial certification of the translation - about 50-60 EUR;
- Working lawyer 400-600 EUR (depending on the current legal status of real estate).
