Can my grandmom get Jamaica title as only surviving child without the other grandchildren interfering?
Published Aug 6, 2012QUESTION: Dear Legal Wiz,
My grandmother wants to get a title for a property left to her and her sisters by her dad. She alone has been paying the taxes and now the children of her other siblings (who are all deceased) wish to claim what their mothers were to get. Can she get the title without any problems?
Roger Gustav
RESPONSE: Dear Roger
Thanks for writing in. Your grandmom can apply and obtain for the title, however as the children of her siblings would be beneficiaries, she would need to make provision for them. It is recommended that you contract the services of an attorney to assist you and your grandmother, especially to avoid complications which can arise.

My wife and I split for over 14 years, I dont want her to have any part of the house My wife and I are divorced for at least 14 years now. In fact, I live in Florida, and she got remarried and lives in Jamaica. We haven't been on good speaking terms since. I called her recently to tell her that I needed the title, as I wanted to sell the house we own as joint tenants. She told me she spoke with an attorney and she was told she is entitled to a half.
I won my Court case in 2011, do I need a new ruling to get the tenants out? I won a Court case to evict naughty tenants two year ago. I really don't want to go back to Court, as they are very dishonest and I am afraid they will use tactics and win. What can I do?
