Handling Your Trinidad Legal Matters From Abroad

How I Help Trinidadians Overseas

Probate & Estate Administration from Overseas

Applying for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration and administering a relative's Trinidad estate on your behalf, so you do not have to travel home.

Working with me from another country

We can do almost everything by email, phone, and WhatsApp. Where a document has to be signed, I explain exactly what is needed and arrange for it to be executed validly where you live, including experience coordinating the execution of documents in the United States. Where it helps, a power of attorney to someone you trust lets matters continue without you needing to travel.

Questions from Clients Abroad

In most cases, yes.
