«A year ago I bought a house through a purchase contract with the previous owner. Everything was in order, or so I thought. When I went to register it in my name at the Public Registry of Property, I discovered that someone else was already listed as the owner of my house.
At first I thought it must be a mistake, but then I realized that it was probably a fraudulent registration. Someone had dared to criminally register the house I had legally purchased as theirs.
At that moment I knew that I urgently needed the help of a professional. I hired the services of Mr. Sanchez, a civil law attorney with good recommendations. I explained my problem and showed him all the documentation of the purchase of the house.
He quickly took action. He filed a formal petition with the Public Registry of Property demanding that the illegal registration in the other guy’s name be investigated. Thanks to the lawyer’s quick and efficient response, in a matter of weeks we had the false registration cancelled and the property was correctly registered in my name.
Law In Cabo was my most important investment. I will always be grateful to him for his expert help in protecting my rights as the new owner.»
