for german nationals
Lawyer in Mauritius for German clients.
A Mauritian property, residence or family question often touches more than one institution. The chambers identifies the issue, the professional responsible and the documents to read first.
a verified reference
German-facing experience, plainly stated.
Me Mokshda Pertaub has been at the Mauritian Bar since 1998, and on the German Consulate’s list of lawyers since 2023. The listing is a directory entry, not a promise about the result of any matter.
A German national may hold documents, assets or obligations in both countries. The first task is to separate what Mauritian law governs from what requires German counsel.
the mauritian side
The questions to separate before acting.
Property purchase
A non-citizen purchase can depend on an approved property scheme and Economic Development Board (EDB) approval. The timetable is the authority’s; contract dates do not wait. Independent advice should test the conditions and title before signature. A notaire, or notary, draws the deed.
Residence-linked matters
Property, work, marriage and residence may be connected in life but follow different legal routes. The chambers can set the Mauritian legal question beside the permit question. Administrative eligibility and applications remain for the responsible authority.
Divorce and family
Divorce in Mauritius proceeds through the Family Division of the Supreme Court. A foreign marriage or judgment can add a recognition step. Exequatur is the Supreme Court order that gives a foreign judgment effect in Mauritius. The route depends on the document.

Read the question that comes first.
plain answers
Three points to establish early.
Does EDB approval settle the whole purchase?
No. Approval and the private contract address different matters. Title, conditions and allocation of risk still need review. That is general information. Advice depends on the property and proposed agreement.
Does property or marriage settle my residence position?
No safe assumption should be made. Residence is a separate question for the responsible authority. That is general information. Advice depends on your status and documents.
Will a German judgment apply automatically in Mauritius?
Not in every case. The nature and form of the decision matter, and a Mauritian recognition step may be needed. That is general information. The document itself must be reviewed.
