Our office assists clients locally and overseas with:
- Applying for Probate in Jamaica (where there is a Will)
- Applying for Letters of Administration (where there is no Will)
- Transferring property and land after death
- Resealing foreign Grants (for estates with overseas probate)
- Drafting and advising on Wills and Powers of Attorney
- Resolving issues with unregistered land
What is Probate or Letters of Administration?
If someone has passed away, you cannot legally deal with their property, land, or assets until the court grants you authority.
This authority comes in the form of:
- Grant of Probate – where the deceased left a valid Will
- Letters of Administration – where there is no Will
These court-issued documents allow you to:
- Access bank accounts
- Transfer or sell property
- Deal with tenants or occupants
- Distribute assets to beneficiaries
Why You Need a Lawyer
Mistakes in estate applications can cause serious delays, rejected filings, or disputes among family members.
We ensure:
- Applications are properly prepared and filed
- Title and property issues are resolved early
- You avoid unnecessary delays with the courts and government agencies
