Legal, Tax & Compliance

Grandfathering

Keeping a right that new rules took away from everyone else.

Why you care

It is almost always narrower than the seller describes, frequently non-transferable, and sometimes conditioned on continuous registration.

Worked example

Ask specifically: does the right survive a sale, and what must be maintained to keep it? Get it from the jurisdiction, not the seller.
