Real Estate Law
Puerto Rico’s Real Estate market is highly active and the relocation of individuals, as well as of companies from other jurisdictions of the United States, is on the rise. We assist locals and clients from abroad, including Puerto Ricans that desire to come back home, as well as U.S. residents who have chosen to acquire property on our tropical island.
Relocating to Puerto Rico might come with challenges, but our expertise is to know how to navigate our system. Real estate ownership includes a bundle of legal rights that are shaped by the legal and legislative environment of each state or territory, therefore, what applies in one state or territory might not be the rule of law in another.
In Puerto Rico, for instance, Real Estate law is grounded on the civil law tradition historically followed under Spanish law. Due to the highly technical nature of this field of law, most transactions require that deeds and other recordable documents be drafted following particular conventions in order to gain access to the Real Estate Registry of Puerto Rico (Registro de la Propiedad). For these reasons, it is imperative to have a knowledgeable and experienced legal professional, who is duly licensed both as an Attorney and as a Notary, in charge of the process.
Our firm includes Board Certified Attorney-Notary, Leticia León, with over 20 years of experience working with estate and real state law, as well as a team of professionals that understand the complex nature of real estate and are dedicated to guiding clients throughout the process. We work diligently to make sure that all real estate documents are accurate, done correctly, and most importantly that our clients are legally protected in every transaction.
