Legal Services in Quepos

Real Estate & Property Law

Buying or selling property in Quepos demands more than a basic understanding of real estate law, it requires familiarity with local ordinances, zoning rules, and land registration practices unique to Costa Rica. I assist clients with contract drafting and review, comprehensive due diligence, and title verification, while managing escrow and closing procedures. My experience with condominium law and HOA governance ensures you have clear guidance on rights, obligations, and community regulations before you commit.

Immigration & Residency

When it comes to immigration in Costa Rica, local knowledge is your greatest advantage. As an attorney in Quepos, I assist clients with investor and pensionado residency applications, DIMEX renewals, and immigration appeals, ensuring compliance with the country’s strict legal standards. With firsthand experience in local procedures and requirements, I help you secure your residency without unnecessary setbacks.

Business & Corporate Law

In the dynamic business environment of Quepos and Costa Rica, local legal expertise is essential for success. Our deep knowledge of Costa Rican commercial laws, regulations, and procedures ensures that your business is structured for compliance and growth. We assist with company formation (S.A., S.R.L., and branch offices), draft and review commercial contracts, guide you through mergers and acquisitions, and manage legal compliance or corporate restructuring with precision. With a Quepos-based attorney by your side, you benefit from insights into local business practices that go beyond the letter of the law.

Cross-Border Estate Planning

Effective cross-border estate planning requires more than drafting documents—it requires navigating the specific legal frameworks of each country involved. In Costa Rica, local inheritance laws can be demanding and unfamiliar to international clients. From our office in Quepos, we provide the insight needed to harmonize your estate plan with local statutes, ensuring smooth global asset distribution, minimizing tax liabilities, and securing the validity of international wills and trusts. Our role is to safeguard your legacy across borders with confidence and compliance.

Notarial Services

In Quepos, navigating Costa Rica’s notarial system requires a deep understanding of local laws, property regulations, and municipal requirements. As your trusted local attorney, I ensure every document is prepared and certified in strict compliance with national and regional standards. Whether drafting powers of attorney, preparing certified documents, issuing public deeds and legalizations, or managing property transfers and title recording, my expertise safeguards your interests and prevents costly delays. With knowledge of both the legal framework and Quepos-specific procedures, I provide a level of precision and efficiency only a local practitioner can offer.

Family & Inheritance Law

Family and inheritance law in Costa Rica involves specific legal frameworks that require an attorney with both technical skill and local insight. From marriage contracts and divorces to child custody, inheritance planning, asset protection, probate, and succession cases, I offer guidance rooted in the laws and procedures of Quepos and the broader Puntarenas region. My role is to ensure you have a trusted local advocate who can navigate complex regulations and safeguard your interests at every stage.
