International probate involving 17 properties
Elspeth NeilsonTable of Contents
Osbornes Law represented the administrator of this international estate where the deceased was domiciled in India. There are ongoing court proceedings in India dealing with the corporate aspects of the £2.5 million estate; there is a dispute there as to whether transfers made from the deceased’s company to him were perfected before his death. There are 17 properties in the UK, some of which were jointly owned with some of the 4 residuary beneficiaries. The deceased also owned property in Bulgaria.
Pressing forward with the estate administration in England is important otherwise the beneficiaries will not receive any substantial part of their inheritance for many years in view of the proceedings in India. The case raises jurisdictional issues as to whether the judgment in India will be enforceable here and vice versa.

I will use Osbornes for any future needs.
Lisa Pepper gave me clear, level-headed and sensible advice during her handling of my divorce, and she demonstrated excellent understanding of the relevant law. She was on my side but fair and pragmatic, and her advice was always given with an eye to what was both equitable and achievable, and in line with the collaborative approach I’d wanted.
“Thank you for your hard work, the final result was better than I had dared to hope for”.
Although there were some anxious moments I must say that overall I enjoyed working with you. It was truly refreshing to find you, someone who came to the rescue at the 11th hour and who knows what they are doing, is proactive, pleasant, honest and has integrity.
