Dutch to English Other Real Estate selling real estate
De context is een (Belgische) volmacht tot vereffening/verdeling van een nalateschap, i.e. een lijst van alles wat de gemachtigden mogen, kunnen of moeten doen.

De zin in kwestie:

dwaasopbod = rouwverkoop dwaasopbod is a translation of "folle enchère" - the term rouwverkoop is recommended now, but you still see dwaasopbod in texts.
Whatever the case it means a new auction of the goods if the buyer fails to follow up on his/her bid and the notary has to sell off the property in a new auction.
writeaway Jan 9, 2005:
@anjoboira: dwaas opbod is a term found in Belgian legal dicos and in French is a folle ench�re. not much point trying to apply NL solutions to Belgian docs. The language may be Dutch but the context is Belgian. :-)
Anjo Sterringa Jan 9, 2005:
Dit kan natuurlijk een Vlaamse vertaling van een Frans contract zijn. "Dwaas" lijkt mij heel vreemd hier, misschien gewoon opbod? Of kan het iets te maken hebben met een "tontine"/beding van aanwas (maar=erfrechtelijk)? Ik zou het zeker a/d klant vragen!
writeaway Jan 9, 2005:
since it's a Belgian legal text, doesn't that make it Flemish, not Dutch? There is quite a difference between the 2 in this particular field.

Forfeit

My Servotte Business Dictionary, a Flemish publication, defines "dwaas/onbezonnen" as 'forfeit, irresponsible bid (sic)'

Sorry: That should have read \"dwaas/onbezonnen OPBOD\" of course
Peer comment(s):
neutral writeaway : imho forfeit alone is not a good solution-Servotte often tries to find a 'snappy' solution even when there isn't one/ :-)

I agree that it isn't. I was merely trying to provide Tina with some clues to 'fuel' further research ;-)
Something went wrong...
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you Jarry - it did indeed set me on my way to do further research. An 'irresponsible bid' means that the bidder cannot pay and then the property goes back on auction starting at the previous highest bid."
