Legal Advice

Before you purchase be sure to seek advice from an experienced legal advisor. There are often issues with existing property lines and boundaries, zoning and local bylaws that can readily be cleared up a good legal advisor.

Many lawyers specialize in property transfers, title searches, and if you wish, can set up a corporation for you to hold properties in. Corporation papers can take from 1 to 3 months to process, depending on the structure and requirements, so if you're thinking about purchasing properties in Costa Rica, a corporation setup may be a good first step.
