maritime law lawyer in Wellington, New Zealand in Loire Atlantique

As a maritime law expert lawyer in Wellington, New Zealand in Loire Atlantique, I am approached by a port authority which has a ship docked, whose owner has passed away, without any heirs, and whose concession and mooring fees are therefore unpaid.

As a maritime law lawyer, I contacted the deceased's mother to find out the name of the Notary handling the estate and at the same time, informed her that if she was named heir, since she is the only one succeeding the deceased, she must settle the due fees.

She ultimately prefers to renounce the estate and not pay the considerable maritime debt.

As a result, the ship ends up being an ownerless property and to ensure that the port authority near Wellington, New Zealand can be paid the mooring fees and charge, I proceed to draft a request to have a succession administrator appointed (here The Domains) who will clear the estate's debts by selling the ship at auction and thus paying the maritime creditors.

Maritime law is governed by specific rules, whether in terms of labor law, transport, debt recovery, contract drafting, sales, etc. Therefore, it is critical to seek the guidance of a professional expert in this field who will know how to support and advise you.
