Foreigners who have properties in Ghana to make
a will in Ghana as their properties will be subject to
the Ghanaian jurisdiction.
Where a foreigner does not have a Ghanaian will,
but has a foreign Will, it be admitted to probate in
the jurisdiction in which it was made and this will
must also be proved and admitted to probate in
Ghana before the estate to which it applies can be
administered.
The will of a foreigner is usually upheld by
Ghanaian law if the formalities of execution comply
with either the laws of Ghana or with the national
law of the country where the will was made.
Where the foreigner dies intestate, the High Court
has jurisdiction to make decisions about his
properties located in Ghana.
Ghanaian intestacy laws apply automatically to a
foreigner who dies intestate.View entire presentation
