You can check Bahamian attorneys at martindalehubbell.com and e-mail them the question. Special forms might be required under Bahamian law which can be provided best by a local attorney. This should not be too expensive and should include thew recording fees. You also might consider inquring of a local title company to see if they have a Bahamian affiliate who can assist you.
