Question on Mauritian inheritance law

If they have been abroad since 2005, I assume that they must knoe French and their droit patrimonial goes like this :
L'Île Maurice étant une colonie française en 1917, le Code Napoléon de 1804 s'applique tant au niveau des lois qu'au niveau des pratiques notariales.

La transmission patrimoniale se fait par l'ouverture de la succession au jour du décès du de cujus, par donation et par testament.

Les lois sur la donation et sur le testament sont importées de France.

Les enfants naturels et légitimes ont les mêmes droits.

Le conjoint survivant a la même part qu'un enfant dans la succession. Il a aussi un droit d'usufruit sur le logement principal du ménage.

If not, look up on the govt of Mauritius site.

Yes they do speak French, I'm forwarding them your reply. Thanks.

Did she leave a will?
If not do you know where or at which bank she had her money?
You can bring the affidavit and other papers that the bank will require before disbursing the money.
Why don't you check with the bank or the notary who did the will?
