Frequently asked questions
How can you manage an estate or a property in Morocco from abroad?
You can give a power of attorney to a trusted person or instruct a lawyer for court proceedings. The firm can check the status of the property at the land registry, coordinate the drawing up of the certificate of inheritance and take action against an unlawful occupant. Each step is reported to you in writing so that you keep a clear record of the case.
How do you have a divorce granted in France recognised in Morocco?
A foreign divorce judgment must be granted exequatur to take effect in Morocco. Article 128 of the Family Code provides that divorce judgments issued by foreign courts are enforceable if they come from a competent court and are based on grounds that are not incompatible with those provided for by the Code.
