Trusts, Wills, and Assets in Peru. The Peruvian Law Expert Series, #6

Trusts, Wills, and Assets in Peru is a practical legal guide for foreign estate planners, probate lawyers, trust attorneys, wealth advisors, and international families dealing with assets, heirs, or legal consequences connected to Peru. A foreign trust, will, probate order, or estate plan may be valid in the country where it was created, but that does not mean it will automatically produce legal, registry, inheritance, or property effects in Peru.
Peruvian law is a civil law system with its own rules on succession, forced heirship, public registries, notarial formalities, legal capacity, property transfers, powers of attorney, document authentication, and recognition of foreign legal acts. This book explains why foreign estate planning instruments must be tested against Peruvian law before they are relied upon in relation to Peruvian assets.
It addresses trusts involving Peruvian property, foreign wills, estate administrators, probate orders, protected heirs, marital property issues, minor beneficiaries, banks, shares, SUNARP registry records, apostilles, legalizations, official translations, and common mistakes in cross-border estate planning. Written by Dr. Alberto Miranda, a Peru-qualified attorney based in Lima, this book is part of The Peruvian Law Expert Series and is designed for readers who need a clear, practical, and professionally grounded introduction to the Peruvian legal issues that arise when foreign estate plans meet Peruvian legal reality.
