A friend, who was originally Sri Lankan, now British national (no dual citizenship) wants to dispose of his land. Will he be within the law if he sells it to a local person?

He might need to be still in possession of his NIC as most land papers I have had dealings with always seem to need the lawyer to see the seller or buyers NIC.

The bottom line is that only a reputable lawyer will be able to give a definitive answer

Hello Viatron,

Thank you so much for your response but unfortunately this is an old thread and the initial poster is no longer active.

However, you are more than welcomed to browse on the Sri Lanka forum and to take part in more recent and active discussions.

Cheers,
