Frequently asked questions.
Can I enquire about an inheritance involving more than one country?
Yes. Explain the connection to each country and the type of assets or legal documents involved. The applicable law and available services will need to be considered for the specific matter.
What details should I provide initially?
A general outline of the relationship to the deceased, the countries involved, the nature of the assets and any time-sensitive issue is a useful starting point. Avoid sensitive identity and financial documents in the web form.
Does an enquiry guarantee that you can take on my estate matter?
No. The firm must first assess the circumstances, any conflicts and applicable professional requirements before confirming whether it can accept an engagement.
