Yes, our virtual set up allows us to serve persons within the diaspora.
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:
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.
