Right from the start she took time to explain the process and reiterated certain steps again and again during the buying process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, our virtual set up allows us to serve persons residing overseas interested in using the services of a real estate lawyer in Jamaica

  • Death certificate
  • Last Will & Testament of the deceased 
  • Contact information for witness of the Will
  • Contact Information for the name Executor in the Will

When a person dies without a Will, the law considers them having died intestate. Since the deceased made no arrangements for his assets, the law steps in by prescribing how the assets should be divided. The law lists the order of priority of persons who are entitled to a share in the estate. It is listed as follows:

  1. Spouse
  2. If there are children then equally between the spouse and children. If If only 1 child, 2/3 to the spouse 1/3 to the Child.
  3. If no children or spouse then to the parents. If the parent(s) and spouse is alive but no children then the spouse and parents share equally.
  4. If no parents, spouse or children then to the siblings of the deceased
  5. Brothers and sisters of the whole blood
  6. Brothers and sisters of the half blood
  7. If no spouse, children or parent then Grandparents, if none then 
  8. Uncles and aunts of the whole blood
  9. Uncles and aunts of the half blood
  10. The Crown (as Bona Vacantia)

Legally you cannot sell what you do not own. An oral promise without more does not gift land.  A Grant of Probate or Administration would have to be obtained from the Court in order to properly sell and transfer the property on behalf of the deceased registered owner. 

There are alternative steps that can be taken which we can discuss with you.

There can be serious implications if you have been served with a civil suit and decide to ignore it. If you have received a civil claim, quickly seek consultation with an attorney at law. It is recommended you seek an attorney who practices in the area related to the reason for the lawsuit.

You have up to six years of the event to make a claim

  • Certificate of Payment of property tax
  • Survey Diagram
  • Valuation
  • At least two persons/declarants  to support the application
  • Medical reports 
  • Receipts for all expenses spent due to accident
  • Police report
  • Pictures related to accident
  • Pictures of injuries

For some transactions we offer flat fees. This includes applications such as registration of caveats, lost title applications and love and affection transfers.

The right to sue or be sued does not end with death, however, there is a process. The answer is yes, you still may sue. Your attorney will discuss the process and considerations for deciding to proceed.
