Dear Reader

On Tuesday, July 24, 2018, the civil law notaries (Marlène Mingo, Meredith Boekhoudt, Faride Tjon Ajong) issued the following notice to the general public.

Due to certain problems at the St. Maarten Land/Mortgage Registry (Kadaster / Openbare Registers), the civil law notaries in Sint Maarten are presently unable to register property transfer Deeds and mortgage Deeds.

The civil law notaries in Sint Maarten are therefore compelled to temporarily postpone the execution of such Deeds until the problem at Kadaster has been solved.

The civil law notaries apologize for the inconvenience.

###

In our next edition we will be publishing an extensive report on the situation at the Kadaster office.

We have sent an email with a series of questions to the minister of Finance, Mr. Perry Geerlings, as he was also a former chairman of the Kadaster foundation board. We hope have some answers in time for our next edition.

In the meantime, do have a great day, people!

Best regards,

Terrance Rey
