Donation

What is a property donation?

A donation occurs when one person—the donor—transfers property to another person—the donee—free of charge, and the donee accepts it.

If you donate a house, apartment, building, farm, or other real estate property in Puerto Rico, you must do so by means of a notarized deed executed before a notary public.

If any party lives outside of Puerto Rico, we assess whether a power of attorney can be used.

What You Need to Know Before Donating

• The donor:
  • must own what they wish to transfer and understand the consequences;
  • must retain sufficient assets or income to cover their living expenses.
• The donee:
  • must accept the donation by signing a deed;
  • It may include " Hogar Seguro" coverage, provided it will be your primary residence.

• A gift may not reduce or impair the portion of the estate that the law reserves for certain heirs, such as children or a spouse.

How We Process Donations

1. We assesswhat the donor wishes to transfer or retain.
2. We verify the title and check for mortgages, liens, or other encumbrances.
3. We are introducing the Donation “ Form ” at the Department of the Treasury.
4. We prepare the deed with the desired amount and terms.
5. We coordinate the signing by the donor and the donee before a notary.
6. We handle the follow-up procedures, including the transfer of ownership at the Land Registry, the CRIM, and notifying the tax authorities.

Costs and Fees

We work on a flat-fee basis. The cost depends on the property's value, the status of the title, the terms of the donation, and the necessary paperwork.

After reviewing the Evaluation Form, we will notify you in writing:

• the total cost;
• the procedures included; and
• the next steps.
