Guides for Puerto Rico house owners

Each guide starts with the short answer, then the steps, who pays what at closing, an example with numbers and common questions.

The guides

  • You live on the mainland

    Includes: the power of attorney, what the Puerto Rico notary does, the withholding if you live off the island, and how the money reaches you.

  • You inherited a house

    Includes: who has to sign, the declaration of heirs, the estate tax return, the Hacienda waiver and signing from the mainland.

  • The house owes CRIM property tax

    Includes: how to find out what is owed, how the debt is paid from the sale and what changes for an inherited house.

  • You are behind on the mortgage

    Includes: where you stand, your options, what mediation does and how selling works when you owe the mortgage.

  • The house is run-down or empty

    Includes: selling without repairs, hurricane damage, empty houses and what to do about a public-nuisance notice from the town.

Is your situation different?

There's no guide for these yet, but you can still write to us:

  • Problems with the title or the papers
  • You're moving, or the house is too big for you now
