What we are engaged to do

Most matters begin with a situation assessment and, where it is warranted, move into verification, negotiation, transaction representation or ongoing oversight. Every engagement is scoped in writing before any work starts.

Scope of work

Six areas of engagement

These are frequently combined. Whichever one you think you need, the starting point is usually establishing the facts.

Property and Asset Situation Assessment

A structured first engagement that establishes what is actually known about your matter, what is missing, and which paths are realistically open to you.

Understanding the issue as you experience it, including the family context around it
Reviewing the documents you hold — title deeds, tax receipts, wills, agreements, correspondence
Mapping the stakeholders: heirs, occupants, tenants, brokers, advisers and counterparties
Identifying the facts that are missing and the claims that are unverified
Establishing the practical risks, including risks of delay

This is usually the sensible first engagement. Later work is easier, faster and cheaper once the facts are settled.

Ground Reality Verification

First-hand verification of what is really happening at the property, for owners who currently rely on second-hand accounts.

Property condition, including maintenance concerns and signs of neglect
Possession: who is actually in control of the property today
Occupancy and tenant status, including the arrangement as described locally
Visible boundaries, access and any apparent encroachment
Current use of the property, and any unauthorized use or activity

We work only with lawful access and do not misrepresent who we are or who we act for.

Negotiation and Settlement Coordination

Calm, in-person negotiation with relatives, co-owners, tenants and counterparties, conducted on your instructions and based on verified facts.

Inheritance disagreements among heirs
Co-owner and sibling disputes over shared property
Rental-income disagreements, including rent collected but not shared
Tenant exits and revised tenancy arrangements
Buyouts of one party's share

Final settlement, partition or transfer documents should be completed or reviewed by qualified advocates before signature.

Owner-Side Transaction Representation

One accountable person on your side of the table when you are selling, buying out a co-owner or evaluating what to do with an asset from abroad.

Selling property while living overseas
Buying out co-owners or family members
Considering development of a held asset
Evaluating and comparing offers
Coordinating registration and completion

We are not brokers and take no commission from either side. Valuations and legal documentation are handled by qualified professionals.

Inheritance and Estate Coordination

Holding an inheritance together across countries, heirs and professional disciplines, so that decisions can finally be made on a shared set of facts.

Identifying the assets that make up the estate
Organizing documents scattered across branches of the family
Coordinating heirs and keeping everyone working from the same information
Obtaining qualified professional advice where it is required
Arranging valuations through appropriate professionals

Succession, probate and tax questions are matters for qualified advocates and tax professionals, whom we help you engage.

Ongoing Case Oversight

A steady local presence for matters that run on: periodic checks, professional oversight, reporting, and early warning when something changes.

Continued follow-up on open items and pending steps
Periodic site visits with written status reports
Stakeholder communication with family, occupants and counterparties
Professional coordination across advocates, accountants and valuers
Regular reporting on an agreed cycle

Fees

What an engagement costs

Fees are based on the complexity, urgency, location and expected scope of the matter. After the initial discussion, suitable clients receive a written proposal. Investigations, professional fees, travel and government charges are clearly identified before work begins.
