Working as a lawyer in Belize

I too would like information, not so much about practicing law in Belize as I will be retired and don't want to work but about  being a registered notary so I can notarize documents which in some countries require you be licensed. Belize has a bar association webpage but I didn't find helpful.

I think attorneys are one of the professions in Belize that you can earn a very decent income from. The main reason is diversification of your services.  In Belize, most attorneys do not specialize.

For instance, my attorney can set up a trust, an IBC account, handle your residency for you, a divorce, purchasing a company, litigation against a business owner, a real estate transaction, etc. etc. Most of this stuff is much more straightforward to do in Belize than the States too, which is why attorneys don't need to specialize.

Caridust, Justice of the Peace's here in Belize act as notaries, and some attorneys.  Belize has a Uniform Notarial Acts treaty with the U.S.. U.S. citizens can also go to the U.S. Embassy and get their docs notarized. Not sure if other countries have notaries in their embassies, but I would imagine they would. Being a notary would still be considered working, so you'd need a work permit until you get your Permanent Residency.
