Professional, efficient, knowledgeable, intelligent and skillful. My father passed away at the end of last year, and even though he lived in Massachusetts, he had property in Puerto Rico. As I also live in Massachusetts and was looking for a lawyer to represent me in Puerto Rico. Someone who would be able to take care of all inheritance matters for me and minimizing the need for me to take trips to the island. As I had previously used Ramon Olivencia at Abogado Notario Online, for some other legal matters, I reached out to him. Ramon immediately understood my requirements and established an effective working relationship with me. He was available 7 days a week, by telephone, text and email and frequently responded to me at night or on the weekends. He promised that the estate and all related matters would be completed before the start of hurricane season 2022. He beat that estimate by a month. Never once did I have to travel to the island for this matter. I highly recommend Ramon and am very pleased with his work.

Excellent service, attention and quality I recommend Ramon Olivencia a 100%! Years ago I owned a property in PR. Now, living in US, in order to buy a new property, they required me documentation proving I was no longer responsible for that property in PR. Needless to say, I did not have it and the bank said they couldn’t help me. Keep in mind this was all amidst Covid-19... Running out of time, less than 2 weeks before the closing, I found myself helpless, not knowing what to do, until I came across his website. I left a comment on his website on a Friday afternoon asking for help and that same evening I received a response from Ramon Olivencia. He was very professional and willing to help me. By that Sunday I had what I needed and translated to English! I was amazed by the service, the quick attention and the quality. I was able to complete my closing and I can’t thank Olivencia enough for making this possible.

Legal Answers

41 Questions Answered

Q. Is my Will/Trust where I reside valid in Puerto Rico or do I need a Puerto Rico Will/Trust for PR property?: March 22, 2022; A: Typically, inheritance or probate norms vary depending on where the real estate assets are located. In the case of Puerto Rico, specific inheritance laws are in effect. You need to have a PR-licensed attorney look into your estate, given that we have what is called "forced heirs". The forced heirs are typically the descendants (i.e., the children), who cannot be left out unless they are disinherited -by exception- via any of the specific clauses permitted by law.

Q. My dad left me a property stated on the will in p.r. And my stepmom the house free disposition. Do I have rights to it?: March 7, 2022; A: It´s impossible to give you a straight answer without looking at the will. It will also depend on when he passed away, assuming he did already. You should consult with a probate or inheritance attorney.

Q. I live in Maryland, I have a house in PR I wish to donate to my Niece in PR. No lien, taxes paid. How do I do it?: March 4, 2022; A: A donation deed will need to be prepared by an attorney. You do not need to travel to PR as this can be done remotely via Powers of Attorneys for both you and your niece, in case she is not in PR. Basically, both parties or their respective representatives will need to sign the deed.
