  • ​Valuation for Curator of Vacant Estate​​​

    The Curator administers all vacant estates, in accordance with such directions as the Attorney General may give, in accordance with the provisions of the Curatelle Act 1982.​
    ​Vacant estates under the Act include the following:
    ​[1] Vacant Successions: where a person died intestate, without leaving any heir in Mauritius, and it is believed that this person may possess property, then his succession is deemed to be a vacant succession.
    ​[2] Unclaimed property: in cases where the owner of any property in Mauritius cannot be ascertained.
    ​[3] Absentees: in cases where a pe​rson owns property in Mauritius but is not lawfully represented or has a legal representative who is not empowered to exercise any right in relation to that property. 
    ​In addition to the above, the Curator also administers the estates of minors or persons of age as may be vested in him by the Judge in Chambers in accordance with the Code Napoleon.
    ​The Valuation Department advises the Curator of Vacant Estate on the Market Value of the property which the Curator administers.​
