FAQ

1. What is a Will and why is it important to do so?

A Will is a legal document that sets out the testator’s will on how a person’s assets and property will be distributed after their death. It is important to execute a Will hand in hand with a legal expert to ensure that the testator’s wishes are respected, to avoid family conflicts or legal disputes that may include the annulment of the Will.

2. What are the legal requirements to make a Will in Costa Rica?

To make a Will in Costa Rica, the following requirements must be met: be of legal age, be in full use of your mental faculties, do it voluntarily and without external pressure, and have the advice of a lawyer or Public Notary.

3. What kind of Wills exist in Costa Rica?

In Costa Rica, there are two types of Wills: the Open Will and the Closed Will. The Open Will is made before a Public Notary and is read in the presence of witnesses. The Closed Will is made in a sealed envelope and is only opened after the testator’s death.

4. Can I amend my Will after I have done so?

Yes, it is possible to amend a Will at any time as long as the testator is in full use of his or her mental faculties. This can be done through a new will that revokes the previous one, or through a codicil, which is a document that modifies or adds provisions to the original will.

5. What happens if I don’t make a Will?

If a person dies without having made a will, they are considered to have died intestate. In this case, the law will determine how your assets and property will be distributed, following an order of succession established by Costa Rican law. This can lead to undesired outcomes and disputes between heirs.

6. Can minors or parents or spouses who are dependent on me be excluded from my Will?

The testator may freely dispose of his or her property, provided that he or she provides for the maintenance of his or her child until he or she reaches the age of majority if he or she is a minor and for life if the child has a disability that prevents him or her from taking care of himself/herself; In addition, you will need to ensure the support of your parents and your spouse for as long as they need it. If the testator fails to comply with the obligation to provide maintenance, the heir will receive only what is left of the property, after giving the alimony, after the estimation of experts, a sufficient amount to ensure his maintenance.

7. What happens if my Will is annulled?

In Costa Rica, Wills are strictly formal documents, and in the event that these formalities are not followed in accordance with the applicable law, such a will may be annulled, in which case, the law will determine how your assets and property will be distributed, following an order of succession established by Costa Rican law. This can lead to undesired outcomes and disputes between heirs. By virtue of this, it is especially important to have competent legal advice for the drafting and granting of Wills.
