Filing a case and repossessing the property if the client defaulted on an installment
1
Q: I have a mortgage of 1.3m with a bank. It is a lease and the property is registered on my name. At the moment, I live outside the UAE and cannot sell the property because of COVID-19. There is a 40-day delay with payments - 1.5 installment is due.
The bank sent me information to clear the outstanding amount within 1 day or they will start a police case and repossess the property.
Is a 40-60-day payment delay long enough to start a police case and repossess the property?
What can I do to avoid consequences? I can settle the outstanding amount within 15 days.
I plan to sell the property when the borders get reopened.

How to settle pending car loan with the bank without any issues?

0
Q: I have an outstanding of around 4000 and when I approached the bank officials to pay, they started to harass me and ask for legal charges as they have made a repossession order against the car only for the amount of 4k.
They are asking me to settle a partial amount from my credit card which I also agreed and at last they made a conditional letter for me to sign which I refused as it was against the norm.
Can someone guide how I can settle my car loan so they can make the repossession order?

View allHow can I file for divorce in the UAE as an Indian Christian with a son, and ensure custody? 0
Hi, good morning,
I’m an Indian residing in the UAE and want to apply for a divorce. My husband and I have been living separately for more than 3 years, and he has been living in India since our separation.
We are both Indians and Christians (non-Muslims). We have a son who is 8 years old now. Can you please let me know the divorce procedure if we want to proceed in the UAE, both with and without mutual consent?
Additionally, please advise on how to proceed with custody, as my son currently resides with me.
Thank you!

How to transfer the shares of a company from his heirs to the partners? 0
A company is registered in a free zone (Dubai South) and had 4 shareholders.
But now one of them passed away and the successor is a very old lady, who is not cooperative and will not be able to sign any document at all (and she lives in another country).
We have no idea who will be a successor after this old lady and these people will in fact never be interested to do anything with this company.
The company is financed and managed by only one shareholder, who is willing to continue.
What can be done in this scenario to keep this company and continue operations?
How to transfer the shares of the deceased shareholder (buyout, shares transfer)?
Is there any court procedure where if no one claims their rights after some time, the shares will automatically be transferred to the company itself or the third parties?
Thank you.
A.
