What is the best way to protect myself when purchasing property in the Dominican Republic?
A. Your best protection is to get a trustworthy and reliable attorney, and title insurance. This ensures that you are adequately protected in the “Promise of Sale” and that you have legal recourse should the need ever arise. The government of the Dominican Republic provides insurance but is not known for its solvency, so a private insurer is strongly recommended. Your realtor can likely recommend one.
