Dear All

I need to make a will about a property which we have in Mauritius.

Does anyone know if the will has to be made in Mauritius or can I do it in the UK ?

Any advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you聽

You can do either but it is probably a good idea to make sure someone has a copy in UK & Mauritius. Apparently both Deeds & Wills are recognised here but there are some laws to be aware of (succession law for kids)

be very careful.

this forum and its users cannot give legal advice as we were told before in relation to renewing our vows!!

only lawyers are qualified to comment on legal matters such as will making.

@chandraw if it concerns properties in Mauritius, it needs to be done in Mauritius through a Notary.

Hi Vishayen

Our Dad left a written instruction(who gets what) regarding

some properties in Mauritius. It was not notorised.

Is it valid?

Can you recommend a good Notary in Mauritius?
