The words “lawyers, attorneys, court and law” are daunting to people that do not deal with these professions or industries, on a frequent basis.
At EMI we pride ourselves in our quality and professional service. Therefore, we launched an Educational Campaign in July 2022 to assist and guide our clients (and prospective clients) on various topics that we work with daily. Topics covered are: Wills/Testaments & Deceased Estates, Property Law, Risk Management and Notarial Services.
Please note that the information shared in these videos are not for legal advice but pointers to guide you in the right direction. Should you want to find out more, please connect with us on our “Let’s connect” page.
We hope you enjoy our Educational Campaign.
