Account holder of Mauritian account, passed away in South Africa-

Hi,
To simplify things, it is better for you to:
get a death certificate
his birth certificateto show that he was born in Mauritius
Your birth certificate to confirm that you are his son!!.
If you have other brothers and sistsers it is imporant to get evryone's on board.
You can get a solicitor to prepare an affidavit to produce to the supreme court of Mauritius. You can provideyourdetails with your bank account too!!
OBviously you can do this is Mauritius or even South Africa.It will take longer if you prepare thepapers in SA but if you come to Mauritius and get aleal office with all the papers then it is a matter of time.

Thank you for answering.
Do you know how long this process takes if I come to Mauritius?

It should not take long BUT you can try and write to a solicitor to see if he can act on your behalf wth all the information I suggested to you. This is a matter of Registry. My fatherdied 5 years ago and he had some money into his account.  My youngest brother who is a psychopath did this and put a sum of money in everyone's account.  There is not much I can do now unless I want to prosecute him
