Act 60 professional boundary

Do I need a lawyer for Act 60?

You need licensed professional review for regulated Act 60 work. The better question is what should be organized before that professional starts reviewing the file.

Short answer: Act 60 filing work should involve a licensed Puerto Rico professional for review, signature, and filing. Whether your situation calls specifically for a lawyer, a CPA, or both depends on the facts, but document organization and advisor handoff can happen before regulated review.
