Why a local lawyer matters at this stageDominican real estate law differs significantly from US, Canadian, and European systems. An independent lawyer protects you from title fraud, undisclosed liens, and contract terms that favor the seller. Title issues are the #1 risk for foreign buyers in the DR.DR Buying Process Guide →

Questions to ask before engaging

Good lawyers answer all five without flinching.

01Are you fully independent from the seller and the listing agent?
02How many foreign-buyer transactions have you closed in the past 12 months?
03What is your flat fee or fee structure? Are there additional costs for title search, notarization, or CONFOTUR verification?
04Will you provide a written opinion letter on the title status before closing?
05How do you handle the escrow / fideicomiso process?
