To gain a deeper legal understanding of the complexities surrounding INS property sales, we spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an experienced attorney at Bufete de Costa Rica.
Sales of properties by the Instituto Nacional de Seguros (INS) often present unique considerations for buyers. While INS typically follows established legal procedures for property disposal, potential purchasers should be particularly diligent in verifying clear title, understanding any existing easements or restrictions, and ensuring compliance with zoning regulations specific to the property. A comprehensive due diligence process is crucial for a successful transaction.
