Benyamin Tanis talks about curious sales conditions he has experienced in the course of his career, including one very special case. In this context in particular, he emphasises the importance and different types of serious contracts and points out the challenges that can arise when buying a boat.
The lawyer from Kiel gives valuable tips on how to minimise risks. He also shares personal experiences, including investigations into dubious websites for boating licences and absurd court cases.
The 26th episode also looks at tax issues and international aspects. Benyamin Tanis makes it clear that unprofessional contracts can have fatal consequences, especially in the case of expensive yacht purchases, and that serious contracts are essential. In addition, the pitfalls and risks of down payments and test drives in the yacht purchase process are highlighted.
The expert also provides insights into the legalisation and recognition of foreign boating licences in various countries and discusses possible differences to Germany. CE conformity and the legal situation in Germany and other countries will also be discussed.
The podcast episode with Benyamin Tanis not only offers exciting anecdotes from his professional practice, but also practical tips and important information for anyone involved in buying or selling yachts and generally dealing with the law in water sports.
