Last will and testament

8 years ago

Hi.. For what it is worth, I thought I would mention this topic to ya'll. It dawned on me that if something were to happen to us, that my sons would have no way to assume legal ownership of our property in Corozol. In the event of our deaths, the Belizean government would assume ownership of my property there. I immediately drew up a will and had a JP...Justice of the Peace notary sign off on it. It is my understanding that document would be legal and binding in a court there. Just in case, I had my attorney draw up a formal will which I know will stand up in a court. Hopefully, they won't be reading my will for some time. I just thought this may be helpful to some and enter an often not thought of, but important perspective for consideration....
