Authority & Credentials

Real Estate Closings and Property Transfers

Costa Rica property law operates under a civil law system that differs significantly from the United States and Canada. In Costa Rica, a Notary Public is a licensed attorney vested with broad statutory authority to draft, authenticate, and register real estate transfers before the National Registry. Terry Steele is a licensed Costa Rican attorney and Notary Public serving English-speaking investors nationwide.

When acquiring real property abroad, institutional credibility and legal precision are not optional. They are essential.
