FAQ
What happens if I waive a right verbally or on a plain piece of paper?
No one can enforce it later: a waiver only has force against others when it's set out in a document with fecha cierta.
Can I change my mind later?
As a rule, no: the waiver is irrevocable, which is why we review it with you before you sign.
How much does it cost?
The professional fee, from $45, covers drafting and authentication; the official notary fee, per page, is separate.
Can every right be waived?
No, some rights can't be waived (several labor rights, for example).
Do I need anyone else?
No, your will is enough. You go in person, with a valid cédula.
About this procedure
A waiver of rights is the act in which a person formally declares, before the notary, that they give up a right they hold. It's a unilateral legal act: it depends only on your will, and you don't need anyone else's agreement. It's used in many contexts: waiving a right of first refusal, an option, a benefit, a legal action or claim, a share, and in general any right you can freely dispose of. There are two things that, as honest lawyers, we tell you before you sign. First: as a rule, a waiver is irrevocable; once you waive, you can't take it back, so the decision has to be well thought out. Second: you can only waive rights you're free to dispose of; there are rights the law protects that can't be waived (for example, many labor rights are non-waivable). That's why, before drafting, we check that your right can actually be waived, and we define precisely what you're giving up and what you keep, so you don't waive more than you mean to by mistake. Then we get it authenticated to give it fecha cierta (a legally certain date, so the document holds up against third parties) and legal force. If what you're giving up is an inheritance, we have the Renunciation of inheritance service, which has its own rules; if it's a usufruct, the Waiver of usufruct.
Legal framework and important notes
Ley de Registros y Notarías (Registries and Notaries Law) · Código Civil (Civil Code)
- Two warnings we give you upfront. A waiver is usually irrevocable, and not every right can be waived
- That's why we first check that yours can be waived and make sure you understand the consequences before signing
We guarantee our service, not what the agency decides. If something depends on them, we tell you clearly and in time.
