The former owner/current title holder is deceased, so...not sure how that works. That does require an in-person visit to DGII? I've been there before for inquiring about other things, but I'm just curious. So, would the lawyer wait until after the sale is made to switch the title from my name...

Thank you @cavok I believe that is what I had been advised before, and we wouldn't have an issue splitting lawyer fees, but my main concern was whether there would be any cons associated with putting the car in my name (as a non-citizen/non-resident)? There is no rush to get this done, but it...

@Manuel01 I fully appreciate and understand your reply. I'm not even in DR right now, so it would definitely be even more complicated. @JD Jones Mazda (Modelo 61 Touring) Year 2011

Thank you for the replies. @Manuel01 I'm pretty sure that the matricula is still in our father's, name despite him being deceased. For those of you that suggested possibly selling it to a dealer, wouldn't one of us children still have to put the car in one of our names before selling it to a...

Greetings, My family owns a car in the Dominican Republic that was left over after my father passed away. We are wanting to sell this car since it seems that none of us, nor any of our closest cousins seem to have any apparent use for it at the moment. It's nothing fancy, but it's just not...

Good morning Bob, I looked at this link that you provided and I'm a little bit confused. It says that we would have a period of 30 days to pay an inheritance tax, but everywhere else I'm looking at says 90 days. Are we talking about two different things?

The current plan is, of course, for us to officially inherit things since the debts are not going to be so large that they are a higher number than what we're going to inherits' value, but...just for curiosity sake, hypothetically...if my father would have owed 1 million USD in debt, and if all...

I never said that I didn't think it was valuable. For the time being there's no plan to sell. We have official paperwork stating it it's been left over to us, but I guess, if I'm not understanding this incorrectly, we have to go somewhere and officially inherit it? Btw, I posted this elsewhere...

Yes, I am. My father passed away in the DR. None of us children are citizens or even residents, but we have been left land, and at least one house in our name.

Morning, my father (who was a Dominican citizen) passed away recently. He had a pending loan debt and also some medical bills. I keep hearing different things about those debts dying along with him, or whether or not I would have to pay them. If they "have" to be paid, then they will be paid...

My father passed recently. He owned at least 2 homes (that I have mentioned on this forum before), but that's not really the point of this post. What should be the first step that we take to make sure that all the affairs he left behind will be concluded nicely? Certain things that will...

I appreciate your help, as well as your previous assistance in this thread, but I don't even know how an LLC works fully, so I won't be able to explain an SRL to him. I guess that's where lawyers would come in handy. Otra vez, alguien me puede hacer el favor de dejarme saber donde en el...

I'm revisiting my post again, because I want to email some info. to my father so that we can start the conversation related to all of this. @cavok you mentioned in an earlier post that taxes on an SRL are 1% of the assessed value, so...I guess that means that someone would have to visit my...

Thank you for the answer. I'm still in New York right now, and some government offices are shut down here (or only processing applications online), so I was trying to gauge how things are in DR.

For example, I always heard that sometimes things take longer to get done than they would in first-world developed countries. Also, I heard that sometimes during the holidays, things slow down even more. During this Covid/Pandemic time, are things like getting a cedula, renewing licenses...

Appreciate all of the answers. I'll do more research as to whether there any negatives that would arise from me claiming my Dominican citizenship. For example, tax-related things may not affect me since I currently don't make enough per year, but I'm not really sure how that works. Also, I...

@AlterEgo Appreciate your reply. I assume that your daughter didn't have to live there as a Resident for any length of time then. I can just go to the consulate in New York and ask for what the specific requirements are. Will your daughter have to visit DR anytime soon, or is she getting the...

If one of my parents is Dominican, do I still need to live in the DR as a Resident first before being able to apply for Citizenshp? I'd be looking for dual citizenship to go along with my USA citizenship. I found this article from an Expat website, and it leads me to believe that I may have to...
