Selling house while overseas - signing of transfer deed

Hi all, looking for advice from people who have been in a similar situation. I am leaving the Netherlands and will be selling my house. As the sale will occur after I have moved out of NL, I understand that I can grant a notarial power of attorney to the buyer's appointed notary to sign the transfer deed on my behalf. I have the following questions:

  1. Is there a risk that the buyer's appointed notary does not provide the possibility to sign the deed on my behalf?

  2. Is the granting of notarial power of attorney done digitally, or does the notary need to mail the power of attorney to where I am, and then I will have to legalise my signature at the Dutch embassy, and then mail it back to the notary?

  3. Have others here done it in another way and can share your experience?

Netherlands to Malaysia, worth it?

Hi all, I have been offered an internal transfer that involves relocating to Kuala Lumpur. My current annual base salary is €115k and the annual base salary after negotiating is RM550k. My partner is a Malaysian who has left the country many years ago so both of us are not familiar with KL. We are both in our early 40s. I have done some background research and it seems to be a good deal and we may be able to save more given the lower taxes and cost of living in KL vs NL.

Edit: some more information, this is not an expat package so it does not come with all the bells and whistles like accommodation, full relocation support etc so I will be on a local contract.

Has anyone made this move (NL/Europe to Malaysia) lately? Would be happy to hear some feedback. Thank you!
