Lawyer in Grand Baie, Mauritius — Family, Estate & Civil Law
Acting for clients in Grand Baie
Grand Baie is a coastal village on the north coast, administered by the Grand Baie Village Council under the District Council of Rivière du Rempart. It is also the part of Mauritius where the resident and the non-resident populations mix most: Mauritian families who have been here for generations, returning citizens, and foreign nationals who bought under one of the property schemes open to non-citizens.
That mix explains the instructions. Property and co-ownership questions, matrimonial matters where the spouses hold two different nationalities, and successions where the heirs, the assets, or both sit partly outside Mauritius. None of these is exotic here; all of them reward getting the documents in order before a dispute rather than after one.
Which court hears a Grand Baie matter
Grand Baie falls within the district of Rivière du Rempart, which is served by the District Court of Rivière du Rempart — a court that sits at Mapou, not on the coast. In civil matters a District Court hears claims where the sum or matter in dispute does not exceed Rs 250,000; a larger claim is heard higher in the court structure. Which court your matter belongs before is settled at the outset, not assumed. Source: the Supreme Court of Mauritius on the District Court.

Questions we are asked
Three that come up most often from this part of the island
I own property here with someone I am separating from. What happens to it?
That depends on the title, on any marriage contract, and on where the marriage took place. Bring the deed and the marriage documents to the first consultation — they decide most of the answer.
Can a matter be handled while I am out of the country?
Largely, yes. Instructions and documents are exchanged remotely; where your physical presence or a signature in original is required, we tell you well in advance.
