Cost for our services
The first part of the services that are provided by our office is the evaluation of the work to be done in your case. There is no cost involved in this evaluation nor does it involve any obligation to the person inquiring about our services. The final cost for the services to be rendered shall depend on various factors, including among them: the number of persons comprising the Estate; the difficulties for the location of all said persons; the amount and value of the assets comprising the Estate; the actual legal and physical condition of said assets; the degree of difficulty for the disposal of the assets and the liquidation of the Estate; and many other aspects that may be peculiar to the particular Estate. That is, each Estate has its own particular characteristics that may influence and determine that the cost may be different in each case.
Because of the particular differences in each case, the Legal Services Agreement to be entered into shall be different for each one. Each case shall have a particular Service Agreement adjusted to its particular characteristics.
After the evaluation of the case, we shall present to you a proposal for the services to be rendered and an estimate of fees and expenses, so that we, may determine the most appropriate form of payment. In each case a Service Agreement may be negotiated to suit its particular situation. After this is done, you will be in a position to make a sound decision in relation with the hiring of our services.
In most cases, the hiring of our services may be done without the heirs having to be present in Puerto Rico. Those heirs not physically present in Puerto Rico may contract us without coming to Puerto Rico. Even if all heirs are away from Puerto Rico, the hiring of our services may be done through documents that we will send to you to be signed in any part of the world that you may be in. That is, heirs residing in any part of the world may contract us to provide our legal services in Puerto Rico in representation of their interests in properties located in Puerto Rico.
