Re: administering estate involving oversea property

You will have to check with legal counsel in China. Real estate is governed by local law. There may be treaties involved.

Re: administering estate involving oversea property

I assume you were appointed by the Court, as if you were not you have almost no powers. I would think you have the power to sell the property from the standpoint of American law, but the house is in China so is governed by Chinese law. If a piece of property in California was owned by a foreign national headhunter [not the employment type], he could not eat the flesh of a passing surfer merely because it might not be illegal back in his home.

So you need to find out the answer from some one familiar with Chinese law.
