Wills

What Is a Will?

A Will is a legal document that sets out how a person’s property and affairs should be dealt with after their death. It allows an individual to decide who will benefit from their estate and who will be responsible for administering it.
Having a properly prepared Will provides clarity and certainty at a time when loved ones may already be facing emotional and practical challenges. It helps ensure that personal wishes are respected and reduces the risk of confusion, delay, or dispute.
In Antigua and Barbuda, a valid Will must meet certain legal requirements, including that the person making it:
Is legally an adult
Understands the nature and effect of the Will
Has the mental capacity to make it
Acts freely, without undue influence or fraud
When a person dies without a Will, they are said to have died intestate. In these circumstances, the law—not personal preference—determines how the estate is administered and distributed.
This may result in:
Delays in administering the estate
Additional legal costs
Assets passing to persons the deceased may not have intended
Increased potential for family disputes
The intestacy process is often more complex and time-consuming than many people expect.
A Will can:
Ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes
Allow you to appoint trusted persons to manage your estate
Reduce uncertainty and disputes among family members
Assist with a smoother and more efficient estate administration process
A Will is not merely a legal document—it is an important planning tool that promotes order, certainty, and peace of mind.
Life circumstances change. Marriage, the birth of children, acquiring or disposing of assets, or changes in personal relationships may affect how your estate should be managed.
Reviewing your Will periodically helps ensure that it continues to reflect your intentions.
Preparing a Will is a responsible and practical step in planning for the future. Understanding its importance is the first step toward protecting your interests and those of your loved ones.

Understanding the Conveyancing Process in Antigua and Barbuda

What Is Conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal process involved in transferring ownership of property from one party to another. It applies to both residential and commercial property transactions and includes a series of legal and administrative steps designed to ensure that ownership is lawfully transferred and properly recorded.
While each transaction is unique, conveyancing in Antigua and Barbuda generally includes:
Reviewing the agreement for sale
Conducting title searches and legal due diligence
Preparing and executing transfer documents
Addressing stamp duty, registration, and statutory requirements
These steps help confirm that the seller has good title to the property and that the buyer’s
interest is legally protected.
Property transactions often involve significant financial investment. Proper conveyancing helps identify and manage legal risks before completion, such as defects in title, outstanding
encumbrances, or non-compliance with legal requirements.
Legal oversight ensures that:
Ownership is validly transferred
Required documents are properly executed and registered
Parties understand their legal obligations
Without appropriate legal oversight, property transactions may face:
Delays in completion
Unexpected costs or liabilities
Defective or unregistered title
Disputes arising after the transaction is completed
These issues can often be avoided through careful legal review and compliance with applicable laws.
Conveyancing is more than a formality—it is a structured legal process designed to protect the interests of all parties involved in a property transaction. Understanding the process helps buyers and sellers appreciate the importance of proper documentation and legal compliance.
