I need to obtain a duplicate of the title to my condo. The original is lost. Does anyone know how I go about this and what is involved ... how long it will take...?
Thanks!

No one? Help? I need to know what is involved in getting a legitimate copy of the title to use in transferring it to another person.

Our Title was stolen when our Condo in PC was burglarized in 2013 and it cost $1100 U.S. and a agonizing trip to Higuey to get it replaced. Hope you can get a more decent price than that.

Is it not ridiculous that it takes a lawyer to get a copy of the title for your own house?

I wanted to know what the transfer tax would be on a particular property if it was purchased and was told it would cost $100 USD and a lawyer (+ their fee) to find out.

Apparently the tax amount is not based solely on the most recent purchase price and getting an inspection done to assess current value is unheard of. In other words, information may want to be free, but those who control the information want to be paid for providing it.

Great minds think alike. :bunny:


I now keep my Title in my safe deposit box in the U.S. with all my other documents of value.
