Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a notary-attorney to buy property in Puerto Rico?
Yes. Real estate transactions are formalized through a public deed (escritura) prepared by a licensed notary-attorney, who verifies title and records your ownership at the Property Registry.
What are the closing costs when buying real estate in Puerto Rico?
Closing costs typically range from about 5-8% of the purchase price and include notary fees, revenue stamps, registry recording fees, attorney fees, and mortgage-related costs.
How do I protect a trademark in Puerto Rico?
You can register a trademark locally with the Puerto Rico Department of State and, for broader protection, federally with the USPTO. Registration establishes your exclusive rights and helps stop infringing uses.
Are patents and copyrights handled under federal law in Puerto Rico?
Yes. As part of the United States, patents and copyrights are governed by federal law via the USPTO and U.S. Copyright Office, and an IP attorney can help you register, license, and enforce these rights.
