Act 60 lawyer fees: what you are actually paying for
Act 60 lawyer fees vary because the facts vary. The useful comparison is what the licensed professional owns versus what you still need to organize before review.
Fee categories to ask about
Why fees rise in complex files
Professional time increases when the file includes large unrealized gains, pre-move appreciation questions, crypto records, entities, export-services issues, missing documents, or multiple advisors. A clean evidence package can make review more efficient, but it does not remove the need for licensed professional judgment.
How Act 60 Sprint fits beside a lawyer
We organize the evidence, map missing documents, coordinate advisors, and prepare the handoff. The licensed Puerto Rico professional performs regulated review, signature, and filing. This keeps the boundary clear: orchestration is not legal or tax advice.
Act 38-2026 is current law pending final FOMB endorsement. Rates, deadlines, fees, and requirements may change. Confirm current costs and professional scope before relying on a quote.
