What should be taken into account when making an international purchase?

It is important to recall that all countries do not share the same legal age of majority. So, to prevent any formal defect, the parties should at least all have reached the legal age of majority in both the purchaser's and seller's countries. It will also be important to check if the seller is really the actual owner of the vessel. To do so, you will need to hire the services of a local marine advisor. In the case of the sale of a vessel by a corporation, it will be important to check if the said corporation has the authority to sell the vessel. For all these reasons, it is advisable for the purchaser to act with caution when making an international purchase.
