the Mauritian question

Acting for French nationals in Mauritius

A Mauritian matter may sit beside assets, family or obligations in France. Each jurisdiction’s question should be identified before advice is coordinated.

Me Mokshda Pertaub’s qualifications include LLM (France). She has been at the Mauritian Bar since 1998 and is a former Director of the Institute for Judicial and Legal Studies, appointed January 2017.

Buying as a non-citizen

A non-citizen purchase may require Economic Development Board approval. Its timing belongs to the authority. Independent property advice should begin before signature.

Succession and family

Mauritian succession is considered under the Code Civil Mauricien. French advice remains distinct. Family matters also begin with the marriage, residence and any immediate concern.
