Answer 1

yes it can be done ........my advice to you is if you wish to purchase land in Trinidad you should contact a good conveyancing lawyer in Trinidad or you can use your local Attorney and have them contact a Trinidadian Attorney (that would cost you quite alot though).......two reputable Trinidadian lawyers you may contact are :

http://www.lexcaribbean.com

http://www.jdsellier.com

they both deal with property law............or perhaps you can take a vacation and visit our lovely islands and also conduct some enquiries while you are here........ just a reminder do not pay any money to anyone without first having seen the property, having a proper title search conducted and a proper contract done and reviewed (our laws will be different to yours and if you are conducting business transactions here then T&T law will be the effective law)........

oh and one more thing .........ensure you have independent legal representation from the seller ......
