We have been told that a “Notario” will be involved in our purchase and title process. What is a Notario?
The Notario Publico is a government appointed lawyer who processes and certifies all real estate and corporate transactions. The Notario is ultimately responsible to the government for the collection of all taxes involved. It is extremely important to remember that a Notario cannot represent you in your real estate transaction; he may offer advice, but he does not, and can not, “represent” you.
