Wills & Probate: 

If you own a property here in TRNC, and a car and have money in TRNC bank accounts, you will definitely need a TRNC will to ‘mirror’ your UK will, since your will made outside TRNC only covers you for assets abroad,  

Partners living like husband and wife in the TRNC do not have the same rights that partners have in the UK. They will not have any share in the estate of his/her partner. Therefore it is essential that a will is made to protect the interests of the surviving partner.

If your will is out of date or you have never made one, let us help you put your wishes in writing. A missing or poorly written will can mean delays and financial losses to your heirs at an already difficult time. With our help, you can be sure that your estate passes to your loved ones.

LAWLEX Law & Consulting

Family Law:

Divorce or relationship breakdown can be a stressful and emotional time. You have important decisions to make about your future, your children, your finances and maybe even your business.Taking the right legal advice from a specialist family lawyer you can trust is therefore essential in helping you ease the emotional burden.

Our solicitors take a more holistic approach to family law. We get to know our clients in order to understand the issues they face and what is most important to them. This means that we can then provide you with the best possible solutions in the most cost-effective way working with you to reduce the emotional and financial difficulties often associated with family breakdown.

The major change in the TRNC, from that of the law in the UK, is that there is no such rule of “Joint Tenancy” here which covers ‘intestacy’. In the TRNC, if one of you dies intestate (i.e. without leaving a Will) your spouse will not automatically inherit your estate, if there are surviving children. So if you jointly own a property here, your will be treated as holding the title as “Tenants in Common” which does not give the surviving partner the automatic right to inherit the other half of the property. So If you die intestate (i.e. without leaving a Will) your spouse will not automatically inherit your estate, if there are surviving children (in which case a surviving spouse will only receive a 1/6th share and the remaining 5/6th will go to any surviving children) or other specified relatives.
