If you own property in the Dominican Republic but live, or have family, somewhere else, planning ahead avoids leaving your heirs a slow and expensive process in a country whose rules they may not know.
How inheritance works here
Dominican law protects certain heirs, which means you cannot always leave everything exactly as a foreign will might assume. Understanding this early shapes every other decision.
How you hold the property, personally, jointly, or through a company, changes what happens to it later.
Coordinating across borders
A will made abroad can apply to Dominican assets, but it has to be recognised and processed here, which takes time. Sometimes a local will alongside your foreign one makes the transfer far simpler.
We coordinate with your advisors at home so the two systems work together instead of contradicting each other.
Planning while it is easy
The cheapest time to sort this out is now, while everyone can sign and agree. We help you choose an ownership and succession structure that reflects what you want and holds up in both countries.
