Description
Exequatur:
The exequatur (or "execuátur") is a procedure of validation and judicial recognition of a judgment issued by another jurisdiction or country.
For example, to validate a divorce decree or change of name from New York, an exequatur must be submitted to the court in Puerto Rico.
It is important to note that this new process is only to validate that the judicial decision has been made in accordance with the law. In other words, it is not to hear the case again.
Summary of the Exequatur process:
Legal Representation:
- It is not necessary to be in Puerto Rico; the lawyer acts as your representative.
JudicialProcess in Puerto Rico:
- Verify the legality and absence of fraud of the judgment issued in the U.S. or abroad.
- If the case is handled correctly, there is no need for a court hearing.
Requirements:
- Application to be prepared by the attorney in Puerto Rico must include:
- Certified copies of the petition and judgment from abroad.
- Translation into Spanish or English (if in another language).
- (a) Affidavit of all parties involved (recommended option); or, (b) lawsuit against all parties affected by the original judgment.
Cases of Correction or Change of Name:
- It is recommended to bring a new case in PR for correction or name change, using the issued Judgment as part of the evidence.
Duration of the Process:
- 90 days. 45-day "rush" option available for an additional cost at time of order.

Ramon is really professional and timely. From the start of the process he was quick with responding and very thorough, as to gather all of the required information to complete my request. I had numerous questions and he responded immediately. I was a little nervous about doing the process online, but everything was handled professionally. Thanks so much for such a great resource. Outstanding lawyer AND service!
