Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about inheriting property in The Gambia

In most cases, no. We handle the entire process remotely through our local team and legal partners. You only need to travel if you specifically wish to inspect the property in person or prefer to be present for the final sale closing—but it's entirely optional.

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the estate and the efficiency of probate proceedings. On average, the process takes 3-12 months from initial consultation to legal ownership transfer. While title transfer time estimates are useful, property sales in The Gambia can vary widely depending on location, condition, price point, and market demand. Sales may take as little as several weeks in prime locations, but in many cases, 3–24 months or more is realistic.

You'll need the death certificate of the property owner, proof of your relationship (birth certificate, will, or legal heir documentation), or Power of Attorney and your identification documents (passport). We'll guide you through obtaining any additional documents required by Gambian law, and our legal partners can help secure certified copies if needed.

We have extensive experience managing multi-heir situations. We facilitate communication among all parties, ensure transparent documentation, and help coordinate decisions. Legal agreements can be structured to protect everyone's interests, whether you decide to sell and split proceeds or designate one heir as the property manager.

We work with certified Gambian property valuers who conduct on-site inspections and comparative market analysis and GamRealty's expertise of the actual property market. You'll receive a detailed valuation report including property condition, location assessment, recent comparable sales, and current market positioning.

We review all existing rental agreements, verify tenant status, and advise on your legal rights and options. Depending on your goals, we can either continue managing the tenancy, renegotiate terms, or initiate proper legal procedures for tenant transition if you decide to sell.

All payments are processed through secure, traceable banking channels. For property sales, proceeds are transferred to your international bank account via regulated currency exchange services. We provide full documentation for all financial transactions and ensure compliance with both Gambian and international banking regulations.
