Tema: Inheritance · Ver todas las guías
If a Panamanian relative left you a house or other assets and you live abroad, you can inherit without being Panamanian and without relocating. This guide explains how the Panamanian probate process works for heirs who live outside the country: representation by power of attorney, the foreign documents you must apostille, how the property title is transferred, and why a cédula is convenient but not required to inherit.
What happens to assets when someone dies in Panama: succession with and without a will, who the heirs are, how the probate process works under the new Civil Procedure Code, and how foreigners with Panamanian assets can avoid conflict with proper planning.
