ANTI-COVID19 LAW

Dear Friends,

Believe all of you are keeping well, safety and healthy…
Please, stay at home, hold a regime of isolation and a-socialization as far as possible, following the instructions and measures of the authorities and competent institutions…. All of these is for our collective health and goodness.

How do you well know Bulgaria is reached by the Coronavirus /Covid19/ as same as almost all of the other European countries. The government made a National Crisis Staff to reduce the effect of the pandemic and the Staff creates special rules for this…The country have been putted in a State of emergency, the county towns have been blocked and the traffic is regulated and limited, only in cases of urgent health needs, labor and returns in home…

Finally, on the 24th of March the Bulgarian Parliament
approved a new Act for the measures and actions in the time of the State of emergency, what been started with Decision of the Parliament from 13th of March 2020. The special rules will be cancelled with the termination of the State of Emergency.

How this will affect non-Bulgarian citizens in the country and what is the different from the regular life?
Well, I’ll do attempt to explain shortly as possible all the new rules on understandable language below:

1/ The validity of the Bulgarian ID Cards /Bulgarian lichna karta for foreigners and members of EU/ and Driving Licenses what expire on the term 13th of March – 31st October is extended with 6 months, but only for the territory of Bulgaria, not for travel/driving in other countries of EU. For example, if your ID Card expires on 22nd of April, you can use it to prove your identity till 22nd of October, but after 22nd of April only on the territory of Bulgaria. Of course, you can renew it any time in that period.

2/ Taxation changes:
a/ you can pay your local taxes and garbage collection with 5% discount till 30th of June /regular 30th of April/

b/ Declaring and paying of personal taxes from earnings would be happen till 30th of June /regular 30th of April/

c/ Company’s Nil Tax Return can be applied for publishing in the Trade Register till 30th of June /regular 31st of March/, Tax
Return with turnover and profit – till 30th of September.

3/ If you work, the Managers of the companies can assign a job from home, or from distance without your agreement. Also, can send you on half of your legal annual leave without your consent.

4/ You and your car could be stopped for check from the Police, but in addition from the Military Staff.

5/ All the scholars study from distance, not in the schools.

6/ Term for the payment of the personal electricity bills /not company’s/ becomes double from 10 on 20 days;

7/ Some penalties are changed:
a/ for selling of goods on higher price than normal – 1-3 years prison + fine from 5 000 to 10 000 levs;

b/ for fake signals, causing anxiety, or for accidents or help – up to 5 years prison + fine from 10 000 to 50 000 levs

c/ Sick person, or infection holder who doesn’t follow restrictions for moving and descriptions for treatment – fine 5000 levs

8/ All the terms on court procedures stop to go for the time of Emergency….If you have some cases they will not go at that time, everything will be renewed after its cancellation.

9/ All the prescription terms defined by the law also stop to go, in addition some other administration terms, what prolong.
Believe all of this information helps you to get orientated and to organize your life in these difficult times of restrictions and limitations.

Keep safe and healthy

Why I do perform BULGARIAN TESTAMENT /WILL/, said rhetorically once my client…. And have answered: to guarantee tranquility and avoid problems and complications in the future for my heirs. Indeed, making of Bulgarian WILL is responsible step what can rid of your inheritors from a lot of problems and further embroilment.
First of all the TESTAMENT gives clear instruction who are the beneficiaries of the Author’s property, assets and possessions. If a WILL is not made, the Bulgarian law replaces it and gives categories if inheritors, who to receive the property…. First class are the children, if not children second parents, if not parents third brothers and sisters and etc. If not found any relatives the final class beneficiaries are the state and municipality. So, if someone haven’t done a TESTAMENT and pass away, and his relatives /closest, or more far/ are not noticed, or not very active to receive the inheritance, do you think the country or municipality shall be very motivated to discover and notice them…..?!? Do not believe……if there is even small chance to obtain the assets…
Second, without a WILL and even active heirs, struggling to prove their capacity of beneficiaries of the property, and the obtaining of the needed documents /especially certificate of the inheritors/ would be huge burden, efforts, time and expenses…what all would be easily replaced with a simple act of making a WILL.
Third, the delay of all the procedure in the ascertaining of the heirs and receiving of the inheritance would provoke additional unexpected problems, as example the Association LEGAL PRIME CARE met already cases of enforcement sales of properties for taxes /local, company’s, etc./ with death owners and unknown heirs…, what would be avoided with made WILL.
So, how to make a Bulgarian TESTAMENT ?
The Law describes two options for this: a/ handwritten WILL and b/made in front of the Notary.
We need to say that the first form, handwritten is more common, convenient and lucrative. The Author writes the text of the WILL with his own hand, but he must strictly to follow the rules of the Law. The breach of the Act’s regulations would conduct to invalidity of the WILL /full, or partial/. In that reason, we practice the text to be carefully prepared by Lawyer and then the Author to write it following Lawyer’s instructions and form. This procedure guarantees 100% validity of the WILL.
The second form, WILL in front of the Notary needs to be supported by two witnesses. It is more expensive /more fees/ and in that reason more rarely made, but necessary in some special cases…
The both ways /procedures/ have to be prepared and supported by Lawyer, who to consider all the requirements of the law and as result to be guaranteed that everything been done properly and the WILL is fully in force, without invalid parts, or totally illegal…
Sadly, we’ve been heard that some Brits use services of occasional persons /estate agents, translators, English-speaking drivers and deliverers, etc./ to save some pennies for Lawyer’s help. That’s ridiculous and shame. Hey folks, that delicate and responsible process is not a job for people on wheels…Lol. Because, after you passed away you don’t bequeath property, but bomb of problems….A Lawyer makes a lot of specialized work to prepare and ensure the legality of the WILL for you, as well as, but not only: to estimate the ability of the Author, to fill the order, form and rules of the Law, to figure and secure the reserved part of the inheritance, what the WILL can’t touch /have you heard about this?!?!/, and many other facts, what to be considered…..
LEGAL PRIME CARE can help and lead you properly in that sensible process.

Bulgarian ID Cards for Brits....? At now The Kingdom is a part of European Union, so no problem, or worries Brits to obtain ID Cards with no complications and as citizens of EU....But plans are after 31st Jan the situation to be changed, who knows is that the deadline for Brexit? Probably UK and EU negotiators do not know also....
What will be the change ? If no special agreement reached for those relations, the UK citizens will be treated with status of foreigners and getting of permission for long staying in Bulgaria will be more complicated…Every foreigner /Brit after Brexit, in no negotiation for especial attitude/ must prove sensible reason to stay permanently in Bulgaria, example student, or University lecturer, or need of medical intervene, or big investor in Bulgarian economy, or boss giving a job on at least 10 Bulgarians, and other similar….
But anyway, how asked me Joanne Rose and been answered, if you don’t have intentions to stay more than 90 days in Bulgaria, why do you need Bulgarian residency /actually permission for long staying/……, probably for more freedom and options….. Yes, it would give you more freedom, but everyone have to estimate also the efforts and difficult to get it and is it worth….
For all that possess already residency, by discreetly and personally received information /but still not confirmed/, LEGAL PRIME CARE Team can inform you that after Brexit will be needed changing of documents /ID Cards/ and replacing them with Foreigner’s Cards, but your rights, privileges and position will be saved and no changed…..
The country is happy of your presence here !!!
Enjoy Bulgaria !

On that way of thinking, after Brexit in force /at now 31st Jan/ all the British buyers will need a company to buy a land/house with land in Bulgaria, we can help with confidence for this....
All the current owners won't need a company, they will keep their rights.
