Private Client Services – Family Law

Private Client Services - Family Law

Macauley, Bangura & Co deals with all aspects of Family Law, emphasizing the importance of maintaining dignity between the parties and resolving the legal disputes on a fair and equitable basis. Our dealings with clients are focused on attempting to avoid a settlement that will not lead to resentment and subsequent litigation. As a result this department sees High Court litigation as a last resort to finalize terms of divorce and disputes generally. It is therefore paramount that both parties feel a fair settlement has been achieved and that the relationship between the parties, especially if there are children involved, will continue on a civil basis after the proceedings are finalized.

We handle the liquidation and distribution of deceased estates, the creation and setting up of intervivos trusts, the administration of trust assets, the drafting of wills and estate planning. Similarly, trusts are common vehicles for asset protection, which means it is imperative to obtain sound advice regarding the terms of the trust deed. We draft trust deeds, advise on the tax implications of trust and will attend to all the requirements to registering trust deeds with the Registry. We also advise clients on the administration of their financial affairs in consultation with tax consultants and other financial advisors.

We offer a full range of family law services, including:

  • Divorce settlements
  • Divorce proceedings
  • Inheritance
  • Drafting of Wills and Trusts
  • Mediation on behalf of both parties
  • High Court Litigation
  • Adoption Proceedings
  • Child custody
  • Access to children

  • Division of as sets in terms of divorce actions
  • Estates
  • Probates and other testamentary matters
