What We Do
We support clients with legal matters that involve both UK and Nigerian legal systems, offering seamless advice and representation on complex, cross-border issues.
Cross-Border Probate & Estate Administration
We help executors, administrators, and families manage estates that span both jurisdictions — including obtaining probate in the UK, dealing with Nigerian assets, and coordinating with local professionals in either country.
Wills for UK-Nigerian Clients
We draft wills that take into account assets, beneficiaries, and legal obligations in both countries. Our advice ensures your estate is properly planned, and your wishes are valid under both English and Nigerian law.
Property Ownership & Transfers
We advise on property acquisition, ownership, and inheritance for clients who hold real estate in Nigeria and the UK. We also assist with transfers of equity, trust-related ownership, and compliance with both legal systems.
Trust Planning & Disputes
We assist in setting up trusts that involve UK or Nigerian beneficiaries, and help resolve disputes that arise from the administration or interpretation of cross-border trusts.
Business and Family Asset Structuring
Whether you’re setting up a business, protecting family wealth, or managing succession planning, we offer practical solutions tailored to the regulatory and cultural realities of both countries.
Our Process
We provide comprehensive, end-to-end conveyancing services, including:
01 - Consultation & Case Review
We begin by understanding your goals and reviewing the legal jurisdictions involved — whether it’s drafting a will, resolving a dispute, or administering an estate.
02 - Jurisdictional Analysis
We identify how both UK and Nigerian legal systems apply to your situation and advise on the best path forward. Where needed, we collaborate with trusted professionals in Nigeria to support your case locally.
03 - Legal Execution & Ongoing Support
