First of all, when you purchase Costa Rica property, you will need fully bi-lingual Costa Rica lawyers and attorneys. Real estate law in Costa Rica is so different from real estate law in other countries. The American European Real Estate Group recommends you use a real estate attorney and notary public to purchase real estate and a family lawyer to get married or get a divorce.
You don’t go to a dentist because your feet hurt, even though the dentist is a doctor too. For that same reason, as a real estate broker, I leave writing to the experts at IBuyEssay and do not try to do it myself.Therefore, to make your Costa Rica real estate business easier for you, we recommend the following:
- Use a specialized professional for your real estate business, a real estate attorney, and not a general attorney.
- Hire a bilingual attorney.
- Utilize a real estate attorney with a SUGEF approved escrow account.
- Hire a lawyer recommended by your real estate agent, this will facilitate the cooperation.
