If a property has a change in the name on the title then there are transfer taxes and stamp duties involved. If the property is in a corporation then there are no transfer taxes as it will just be a transfer in shares. Taxes are based on the value of the property but there are also certain factors such as whether it is residential land, farm land and if there is a fixed structure/building/house on the property. It also depends on the designated zoning of the land such as rural, farm, commercial, residential and touristic. If you are doing this through a lawyer, even though you did not pay anything for the property, you will obviously have legal fees to pay. I recommend that you do this through the lawyer to make sure that the property coordinates are 100% correct. The Deslinde process, (translates to the Segregation of the land) was started in 2009 due to the fact the the land courts had more land titles in the DR than actual land available and because of this some property owners have gained land and some have lost. If this piece of land has been in your family chances are that it has not been deslinded (I am only guessing this and maybe your family have already done this) and if it has not been done then the only way a new title can be issued is by getting the Deslinde done, and this is not cheap, expect to pay between U$1500 and U$2000.
