Can’t get transports after seven years

Dear Editor,

For over seven years a property belonging to Mr Kenneth Bhagwandin (now deceased) and given to his children via a legal will, lodged in the Supreme Court Registry, has been causing great difficulty and great confusion. The difficulty lies in the distribution of the land to the children of the deceased. One child got her transport for her part using the legal services of a lawyer who is a senior counsel, while the other two who took the same lawyer cannot get their transports even after seven years.

The name of the attorney-at-law is [name provided]. She keeps requesting document after document from her clients and then mysteriously those documents disappear from her office files. There are no legal hurdles or problems that will prevent the granting of the transports, so why the delay and why beat around the bush? Money and time is being wasted and this attorney seems as though she is up to something not kosher.

I would gladly appreciate the assistance of the Guyana Bar Association in investigating the lawyer before we take our own action against her.

Yours faithfully,
Chatterpaul Bhagwandin
