Frequently Asked Questions — Estate Planning

Do I need a will in Puerto Rico?

A will lets you direct how your assets are distributed, but Puerto Rico law reserves a portion of the estate for forced heirs (legítima), such as children. An estate planning attorney can help you draft a valid will that respects these rules and reflects your wishes as closely as the law allows.

What happens if someone dies without a will in Puerto Rico?

When a person dies without a will (intestate), Puerto Rico law determines who inherits according to a fixed order of heirs, typically starting with children and the surviving spouse. The heirs must complete a declaration of heirs and estate procedures before assets can be transferred.

Can estate planning help reduce probate complications in Puerto Rico?

Yes. Tools such as a properly drafted will, lifetime gifts, and clear titling of assets can make the estate process smoother and reduce family disputes. An attorney can also help with tax considerations and the documentation needed to transfer property at the Property Registry.
