My Story
In 2002, my aunt, Miss Coseta, died whilst visiting family in the UK. She left behind a small estate in Jamaica and a Will naming me as Executor. My story revolves around navigating the complexities of international estate and property management, especially when faced with unexpected challenges like a missing Title, restrictive covenants, and unscrupulous individuals.
Key takeaways from my experience
- Planning and preparation: As Executor, I registered the death in the UK, but the Will was probated in Jamaica because it was crucial for establishing my legal authority and initiating the process.
- Proactive problem-solving: Recognising the need for arbitration due to stalled negotiations with the Title holder so that this vital part of the proceeding is concluded as soon as possible.
- Finding reliable professionals: Identifying a trustworthy team of professionals was key to achieving success.
- Perseverance and patience: Dedication to navigating the complex legal and logistical hurdles over two decades, without losing hope.
