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.

Short answer: Act 60 lawyer fees may cover regulated review, application strategy, signature, filing, and communications with Puerto Rico authorities. They usually should be separated from government costs, donation obligations, and file-readiness work.

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.
