Questions from Indian clients

My father held Mauritian property; we live in India. Where do we start?

Start with the title, death certificate, any will and a list of heirs. Mauritian succession is considered under the Code Civil Mauricien. Individual advice depends on those documents.

Do we owe inheritance tax in Mauritius?

Tax treatment must be checked for each country and estate. The Mauritian property and Indian position require separate, coordinated advice based on current facts.

Can the matter proceed without us travelling?

Many steps can be prepared remotely. Attendance and original-document requirements depend on the procedure. Individual advice begins with the papers and dates.
