How instruction works
01
You send the brief
Use the form below, or email directly at info@caricounsel.com, with the jurisdiction, matter type, and a short description of what’s needed.
02
We confirm scope and fee
A short call or written exchange establishes exactly what’s required and the basis on which we’ll charge for it.
03
We act, and report as we go
You retain conduct of the client relationship; we handle the Trinidad & Tobago-based work and keep you updated at each material step.
04
We deliver and close out
A final report, the relevant documents, and a clear invoice bring the instruction to a close.
Fee approach
Most attorney instructions — resealing a grant, a beneficiary or asset search, a bankruptcy search — are quoted as an estimated fixed fee once the scope is confirmed, so your firm can advise its own client on cost before work begins.
Matters that are open-ended by nature — contested administrations, title resolution, ongoing incorporation governance — are provided with an estimate at the outset and updated if the scope changes materially.
Frequently asked
Do we need another Trinidad & Tobago firm already engaged before instructing you?
No. CariCounsel is often the only Trinidad & Tobago-based counsel required on a matter — you can instruct us directly, without a separate local firm already in place.
How quickly can you check whether a will, probate, or letters of administration has been lodged at the registry?
We can carry out that registry search — confirming whether a will has been lodged, or whether an application for probate or letters of administration has been filed in relation to an estate — within 3-10 business days of receiving the required details. This is a search of the registry only, not the probate or administration process itself, which takes considerably longer.
Do you communicate directly with our client, or only with us?
By default we report to the instructing firm only, preserving your relationship with your client. Direct contact happens only where you ask us to.
