The Legal Layer Controlling Jamaican Real Estate

www.thropx.com Instagram:   / throp   https://www.thropmedia.com Owning land and being able to use it are two very different things. In this conversation, we sit down with Debra-Ann Matthews of Matthews & Walker, Attorneys-at-Law, a boutique Jamaican law firm specializing in real estate, probate, and commercial matters, to explore the legal layer behind Jamaican real estate that most property owners never see.
