At the Law Office of Sylvia C. Lugo-Sotomayor, our Puerto Rico probate
attorneys have experience in both U.S. and Puerto Rico estate law. We
are dedicated to our clients, and offer them outstanding legal counsel
and representation. Our firm is somewhat small, but it allows us to give
undivided attention and personalized legal assistance to all of our clients.
We understand that probate can be very confusing, and our team may assist
clients until their probate issues have been successfully resolved. The
Law Office of Sylvia C. Lugo-Sotomayor has been assisting Puerto Rican
residents with
probate and probate-related problems for
over 20 years. Turn your case over to a probate lawyer in Puerto Rico to find out what
options are available to you. Our firm is also able to help clients with
civil litigation, notary services, and we may represent clients who are
filing for bankruptcy in Puerto Rico.
Our firm was founded by Attorney Sylvia C. Lugo-Sotomayor, who has a Good
Avvo Rating. She is also endorsed by fellow lawyers who state that she
is honest and demonstrates the upmost level of professional integrity.
With her strong devotion to clients, she is willing to accept even the
most challenging probate cases. Our team has the ability to assist clients
who have recently lost a loved one and are now facing the probate process.
We may walk clients through the entire procedure by ensuring that their
paperwork is filled out correctly, and completed in the proper order.
For those who wish to make probate easier for their loved ones, our team
may create an
estate plan. An estate plan includes electing a guardianship for minor children or
incapacitated loved ones, creating a will that is valid under Puerto Rico
law, and establishing trusts.
Legal Assistance for All of Your Probate Needs in San Juan County
The State of Puerto Rico has different requirements for wills than other
states in the U.S. Inheritance laws, for example, are somewhat complicated.
Puerto Rico believes in forced heirs, and will protect their rights over
any other type of legal document that may exist in an estate plan. If
you either accidentally or intentionally exclude forced heirs, your will
may be considered invalid. Not having a will, or creating a will incorrectly,
will lead to the government dividing your assets depending on their own
laws. Our firm is aware that Puerto Rico may not divide your assets how
you would like, which is why we encourage our clients to create an estate
plan with an experienced lawyer's assistance. We never use a cookie-cutter
design for estate plans, because we understand that every client has different
needs and expectations. If our clients have any questions regarding probate
or estate planning, we are more than happy to answer their questions to
the best of our ability. Since our clients are our number one priority,
we strive to give every client excellent representation with a personal touch.
Our team is fluent in both English and Spanish, which increases our ability
to provide legal service to a vast range of clientele. We have been assisting
clients in Puerto Rico and Tampa for years, and we have experience with
every type of probate and estate planning cases. Not only that, but we
may be able to help clients who need civil affair, notary, and bankruptcy
aid. For our Puerto Rico clients, we provide public notary and civil litigation
services. If a client needs a government document signed, or an attorney
to represent them in a real estate case, we may be able to help.
