The difference isn't the paperwork itself — it's whether someone is managing it for you.
Answer a few questions and we'll analyze your specific situation — not a generic quiz.
Two attorneys, one office in Grecia, and every case handled personally — you will always know exactly who is working on your file.
Irving combines legal practice with a background in corporate finance and process management — which is why LexoraCR treats your case like a managed process, not a pile of paperwork. He leads company structuring and compliance, and residency applications, for local and foreign clients.

Jennifer oversees the notarial side of the practice — company formations, transfers of real estate and movable assets, powers of attorney, wills and registry filings. Every document that leaves this office carries her review, so nothing is filed twice or rejected for form.
Jennifer.Villegas@lexoracr.com WhatsApp — +506 7209 8921We kept meeting the same person: a business owner, investor or new resident — local or foreign — navigating legal obligations through hearsay, forums and unanswered emails. LexoraCR exists so that person always knows three things: what their situation is, what it will cost, and what happens next. That is the entire firm, in one sentence.
It is more common than you think, and almost always fixable. We start with a registry review to size the problem, then give you a fixed quote to bring everything current before any work begins.
The Essential plan covers the annual shareholder declaration (RTBF), corporate tax and D-140 filings, deadline reminders and, where applicable, the registered agent. Operating-permit setup, ongoing advisory and accounting are quoted separately.
Yes, through allied accountants. LexoraCR coordinates the work with your legal compliance and sends you a single invoice. The fee is quoted by volume of transactions.
Both. We handle purchases, sales and transfers of real estate and of movable assets such as vehicles, with the fee confirmed in writing before any work begins.
No — government fees, stamps, apostilles and translations are billed separately at cost, as the law requires, and itemized on your invoice. Our published fees cover our professional work, with the scope of each service defined upfront.
Yes — consultations, documents summaries and all communication are available in English or Spanish, whichever you prefer.
Much of the preparation — document gathering, apostilles, translations and case strategy — happens before you set foot in the country. Some steps do require your presence; in your first consultation we map exactly which ones, so you can plan your trips.
Processing times at the immigration authority (DGME) vary by category and caseload. We give you a realistic estimate for your specific category at intake, and your client portal shows which stage your file is in at all times.
Grecia is in Costa Rica's Central Valley, close to the communities we serve. And since your case is managed digitally — with filings, updates and payments online — where our desks are matters less than how we work.
All professional fees on this page meet or exceed the minimum fee schedule of the Costa Rican Bar Association (Arancel de Honorarios, Executive Decree 41457-JP and its reforms).
Government fees, documentary stamps, apostilles, certified translations and registry charges are paid by the client and billed separately at cost, as provided by the fee schedule.
Fees are quoted in US dollars for convenience; the colón equivalent at the exchange rate on the date of invoicing governs for statutory purposes.
