Conveyancing Services in Jamaica

Below are some of our real estate law services in Jamaica

Property Management Legal Advice

Legal support for landlords, property owners, and property management firms: tenant screening, evictions, compliance, and dispute resolution.

Land Title Verification & Searches

Comprehensive checks with the National Land Registry to validate ownership, identify mortgages, claims, or usage restrictions.

Drafting & Reviewing Agreements for Sale

Preparation and review of the Agreement for Sale contract, including drafting the critical Deed of Conveyance covering price, deposit, timelines, and responsibilities.

Land Registration & First Registration Applications

Formalizing informal ownership (e.g., inherited or jointly-used land) under the Land Title Registration procedures, guiding you through lengthy and costly processes.

Mortgage & Property Financing Legal Support

Our team of real estate lawyers are key when you’re financing property, handling everything from drafting and reviewing mortgage service documents to advising on loan terms. They also ensure the mortgage is legally cleared once your loan is fully repaid.

Applications for Strata Titles

This service is for properties like condos or townhouses where individual units are owned separately (strata titles) but share common areas. Our lawyers help owners understand the rules and regulations (strata plans) that outline their shared rights and responsibilities.

Modification or Discharge of Restrictive Covenants

Restrictive covenants are legal rules tied to a property’s title that control how it can be used or built upon, like limits on building size or type. If these rules are broken, or if you want to change them, our lawyers can help, but it’s a difficult process that can be costly and time-consuming

Lost Land Title Applications

When your Certificate of Title – the crucial document proving you own your property in Jamaica – goes missing, we’re here to guide you through the precise legal steps to apply for a new one, making the stringent process as smooth as possible.

Notation of Death on Title & Transfer by Transmission

When a property owner in Jamaica passes away, updating the property title quickly and accurately is super important because of succession law. We handle all the legal steps to get the death officially noted on the title and make sure the property gets transferred to the right beneficiaries or personal representatives.

Commercial & Residential Lease Agreements

Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, we’re here to help you with lease agreements for both homes and businesses. We handle drafting, reviewing, and negotiating key aspects like rent, duration, and maintenance to protect your interests. Our role ensures you fully understand your commitments and secure advantageous terms, especially when dealing with complex commercial leases.

Comprehensive Estate Administration and Asset Protection

A big part of our estate planning service for real estate in Jamaica is helping clients reduce tax costs and make the transfer process as smooth as possible. We explain how different ownership setups — like joint tenancy or tenancy in common — can affect probate and the way property is passed on later.

We also look at whether setting up a trust could be the right move. Trusts can help protect your assets, manage property for minors, or make sure certain conditions are met before anything is handed over to beneficiaries — all while staying in line with Jamaican trust law.

But estate planning goes beyond just wills and trusts. We also help clients create powers of attorney and living wills — which are essential if something happens and you’re no longer able to make decisions yourself. With these documents in place, someone you trust can handle property matters, including selling or leasing, without delays or legal problems.

Through one-on-one consultations, we make sure you fully understand what these tools do and how they protect your property. It’s all about keeping your assets safe and making sure your wishes are followed — now and in the future.
