[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You always need a local lawyers. Always. In some countries it’s illegal to take more than a few thousand dollars out of the country at all! You need an expert in local requirements. [/quote]

The mom will take care of the legal stuff, with or without lawyers, the question is more about him having to travel to deal with the whole thing[/quote]

You're being incredibly unclear. So there will be local lawyers there handling things. What does the son need then? Surely someone in the law office can speak English, or provide a translator if not.[/quote]

This is the problem. No there won’t be anyone (according to mom). Now that I am thinking about it, I think their need is someone trustworthy AND English speaking which might be a problem (outside of the capital).

The lawyer mom chooses is likely trustworthy. They can provide an English translator or son can find one -- the US embassy in each country keeps a list for Americans who need assistance.

What is this mythical country where it's so difficult to find an English translator? I've traveled far and wide, and while English may not be widely spoken in many countries, it's still possible to find people who speak it. It is essentialy the global language after all.[/quote]

Trustworthiness and willingness to deal with legal stuff is key, not any English speaker is good for their purpose! [/quote]
