FAQ — real estate in Panama
Common questions from buyers, sellers, and their advisors.
Do I need a lawyer if I already have a real estate agent?
Agents facilitate the commercial match; legal counsel reviews title, drafts or revises the promesa, structures risk allocations, and ensures registry formalities align with your interests.
What is legal due diligence before signing a promesa?
We examine registry records, encumbrances, annotations, relevant permits, and corporate sellers when applicable—so you understand what you are buying before the agreement becomes binding.
How long does closing typically take?
Timing depends on financing, developer requirements, and registry workload. After scope is clear, we outline a realistic sequence from promesa execution through deed signing and registration.
Can you assist with horizontal property or tourism-regime projects?
Yes. We advise on regime-specific documentation and developer packages, and we coordinate contractual protections that reflect how those projects are structured in practice.
