most regular travellers have similar stories about nightmares associated with real estate deals. A mate of mine sent $90,000aud to a 12 year old local friend to purchase some acerage on Lembogan which his family owned,his "friend" vanished, it took 5 years to find him, the bali friend ended up with 1 year prison and my mate had to sell his house in Aus to pay the bank. This is one of many tales I know of, so do your homework and get a good notaris. As the other posters say theres No Freehold in Bali
