Peruvian Real Estate Law for Foreigners and Foreign Counsel. The Peruvian Law Expert Series

Peruvian Real Estate Law for Foreigners and Foreign Counsel is a practical legal guide for foreign buyers, non-resident property owners, international lawyers, estate practitioners, and cross-border professionals dealing with real estate assets in Peru. This book explains how Peruvian real estate transactions work in practice, including property ownership, public deeds, notarial formalities, SUNARP registration, powers of attorney, due diligence, registry risks, marital property issues, inheritance-related property transfers, foreign documents, apostilles, translations, and common legal mistakes in cross-border transactions.
Unlike a general guide about buying property abroad, this book focuses on the legal consequences that foreign clients and foreign counsel must understand before relying on a Peruvian property title, signing a purchase agreement, granting a power of attorney, or attempting to transfer real estate connected to estates, divorce, inheritance, or international transactions. The book is especially useful for:Foreign lawyers handling Peruvian real estate issuesForeign buyers considering property in PeruPeruvians abroad with real estate assets in PeruEstate lawyers dealing with Peruvian propertyInvestors requiring legal due diligence before a transactionNon-resident sellers or heirs involved in Peruvian property transfersLaw firms requiring a Peruvian law expert perspectiveWritten by Dr.

The book does not replace legal advice. Real estate transactions in Peru require case-specific review, especially when foreign documents, powers of attorney, inheritance, marital property, registry defects, or litigation risks are involved.
