Notary Services​

The practice of conducting property registry and historical studies is a cornerstone of Costa Rican notarial law. This service involves a comprehensive investigation into the legal history of a real estate property, encompassing its past transactions, potential liens, encumbrances, limitations, and any other pertinent details that might impact its current legal status. At Across Borders Legal, our notary publics provide this service, delivering valuable and precise information to individuals interested in a property. This empowers them to make well-informed decisions before entering into any transaction or contractual agreement related to the property. Additionally, this service serves as a proactive approach to preemptively resolve potential property-related legal disputes.

The service of property transfers and segregations is essential in Costa Rican notarial law. These procedures focus on the transfer of real estate, either in total or in part, and on the reorganization of property ownership. In general terms, a transfer involves the conveyance of ownership of real estate from one owner to another, while segregation refers to the subdivision of land to create new independent lots. It is crucial to have the guidance of a legal expert in notarial law to ensure that the procedures are carried out correctly and in compliance with current legal regulations. At Across Borders Legal, you will find property transfer and segregation services, backed by our team of specialized notary law experts in Costa Rica, providing quality and effective legal solutions to each of our clients and all parties involved.

In the realm of notarial law, an easement represents a legal right that allows one property owner to use or access a portion of another property, albeit with certain limitations, typically for the benefit of a neighboring property not owned by them. Our notarial service encompasses the establishment, modification, and termination of easements. This process involves a thorough evaluation of the legal aspects and the drafting of the requisite documentation to formalize the easement in question. Furthermore, in cases where disputes arise concerning easements, our specialized notarial law experts can offer guidance to effectively resolve such matters.

Across Borders Legal provides a range of essential notarial services, including notarization, affidavits, authentication of signatures, and certifications, all of which serve to enhance the security and authenticity of documents submitted to authorities. Notarization involves the granting of a public instrument, which carries greater evidentiary weight than a private document. Affidavits are employed to formally and truthfully attest to a fact or situation under oath. Our authentication of signatures guarantees the genuineness of a signature, verifying its correspondence with the signatory. Certifications are documents issued by a notary that validate the accuracy of a fact or situation. These services play a crucial role in numerous legal and administrative processes. At Across Borders Legal, our team of notarial law experts is well-equipped to facilitate and ensure the proper execution of these services.

Across Borders Legal offers a comprehensive service encompassing the creation, modification, and dissolution of trusts. This legal instrument facilitates the transfer of asset ownership to a third-party trustee, who administers and disposes of them in accordance with the trustor’s stipulations. Establishing a trust necessitates the drafting of a legal document outlining its terms and conditions, which must be registered in the National Registry for legal validity. Modifications to the trust’s original instructions can be made during its lifespan, and trust termination involves transferring assets to designated beneficiaries or as stipulated by the law.

Furthermore, at Across Borders Legal, our specialized notarial law lawyers are well-equipped to aid in estate planning and administration through wills and probate proceedings. While trusts primarily focus on asset management and protection, wills are legal documents dictating asset distribution after an individual’s passing. Inheritance proceedings pertain to the distribution of assets when a person passes away without leaving a valid will. At Across Borders Legal, our attorneys efficiently and effectively assist clients in establishing trusts, drafting wills, and conducting probate proceedings.
