May I ask, did he ask for any sort of list before? What did they charge?I do. Had a lawyer draw it up. He went and got some Govt. stamp on it. Need one witness and the recipients of the will to sign. Whether it works I won't know...........
Still assets in the DR will have to be dealt with in the DR. I think best to avoid unless it’s a Dominican who inherits and can deal with it. Not leave it for family outside the DR to do that paperwork.I spoke to Guzman Ariza about this. They recommended we just get a will in the US. Said it would take precedence over a will here for us, permanent residents.
There was only one person in the Will. This was about 10 years ago and I really don't remember the charge. But the lawyer did a lot of other work for me and he charged me next to nothing for this. Just guessing 2,000-3000 pesos at most..............There was a list that was on the Will stating what was left to the party if that is what you mean..........May I ask, did he ask for any sort of list before? What did they charge?
I would think it has to be done in the DR as we here all of us, I am assuming, are talking about assets in the DR.I guess the first step would be to make a list of all my "stuff" and who I would like to receive it.
All of my assets are here, but I'm sure there are quite a few members here who have assets in various countries.I would think it has to be done in the DR as we here all of us, I am assuming, are talking about assets in the DR.
Well what I meant was being a DR forum we must be talking about DR assets and I would think if one lives in the DR it must be Dominican law.All of my assets are here, but I'm sure there are quite a few members here who have assets in various countries.
I would think that’s a smart way of doing it.Hate to talk about it (my issue). We have a will in the DR and US. For the DR we paid about 5k pesos (so many stamps). In the DR our son had to sign along with us (2020) and the disruption of the will was clearly laid out. However, our attorney told us that our US will take precedent over the DR will. We obviously have property in both countries. We have an appointment with our attorney (for other reasons) so we will speak about this.

I really don't. We did get it translated so there was a stamp authenticating that. Also, I remember a stamp for the person who notarized it. There were a couple more. Let me see if I can find out what the stamps were for.Do you remember why there were so many stamps?
