Legal Answers
34 Questions Answered
- Q. What does SUCN before a name stand for in Puerto Rico property records?
- A: It is short for "Sucesión" or, in English, "Estate". It means that the proprietor passed away so the current owners are the heirs.
- Q. My parents both passed, the house in Puerto Rico was left three of us, but my younger brother went and change the name .
- A: If your parents did not leave a will, which is the overwhelming number of cases, then that is legally impossible to have happened. In particular, if the inheritance transfer process was indeed completed, the Property Registry will actually require and verify the Declaration of Heirs and can only transfer to all of the children of each deceased parent since they are what is called forced heirs. If, on the other hand, there was a will left, then once that document is validated, the property could be transferred to whoever is mentioned there. It is very likely that you have incomplete information on the actual case.
- Q. My father has a property in Puerto Rico and died in January 2017. My father lived in New Jersey and left a will.
- A: It´s difficult to offer an estimate without first looking at the details of your case, particularly the will and the details of the real estate. There are a number of steps to take by the attorney, which, in a nutshell, are: 1) validation of the will, 2) Inheritance Estate Form with the PR Treasury Department, 3) transfer of ownership at the Property Registry and, finally, 4) at the "CRIM" (property tax agency). Some attorneys charge a percentage, others a flat fee and some go by the hour. After the inheritance is done, then a whole new process needs to be done for the sale.
