Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

My uncle jointly owned a house in Trinidad with his sister. He died (in Canada where he resided for many years) and left a will naming his niece and nephew (brother and sister) as beneficiary to his half of the property. The will was done in Canada and also contained assets in Canada that were to be distributed. If the will is probated in Canada will it be valid in Trinidad or will it have to be probated again in the courts of Trinidad before his niece and nephew can legally get their half of the property. Also, how can his niece and nephew obtain a deed to their half of the property.
