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 would highly recommend Katie de Swarte. Her attention to the details of my case, combined with her sensitivity and support, to what was an emotionally challenging and complex legal matter, was much appreciated and excellent. I felt she always listened to what I was saying and never rushed me. She was happy to work with me collaboratively where appropriate, as well as guiding my decisions with solid, legal advice at all times.
Sabrina Powell was efficient, prompt, excellent attitude. I have already recommended her.
"Osbornes always provides work of excellent quality and the advice is sound."
