A Puerto Rico Affidavit by an Attorney-in-Fact in the Capacity of an Administrator of an Estate is a legal document used in Puerto Rico when a person, appointed as an attorney-in-fact, acts as an administrator of an estate. This affidavit serves as a declaration by the attorney-in-fact, stating their authority and responsibilities in administering the estate, as well as their duties in managing the assets and liabilities of the deceased individual. In Puerto Rico, there are different types of affidavits that an attorney-in-fact can use in the capacity of an administrator of an estate, including: 1. General Puerto Rico Affidavit by an Attorney-in-Fact in the Capacity of an Administrator of an Estate: This type of affidavit outlines the broad powers and responsibilities given to the attorney-in-fact in managing and distributing the assets of the estate. It may include tasks such as collecting and valuing assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the estate among beneficiaries according to the deceased's wishes or the law. 2. Limited Puerto Rico Affidavit by an Attorney-in-Fact in the Capacity of an Administrator of an Estate: This affidavit grants the attorney-in-fact specific powers and duties for administering certain aspects of the estate. It may be used when the administrator needs to handle a specific property or asset, negotiate contracts, or perform other limited actions on behalf of the estate. 3. Specific Puerto Rico Affidavit by an Attorney-in-Fact in the Capacity of an Administrator of an Estate: This type of affidavit is even more narrowly tailored to grant the attorney-in-fact precise powers and responsibilities. It may be used when there is a single task or transaction that requires the administrator's attention, such as selling a particular property or executing a specific agreement. Regardless of the type, a Puerto Rico Affidavit by an Attorney-in-Fact in the Capacity of an Administrator of an Estate must be executed and notarized to make it legally binding. It typically includes the attorney-in-fact's full name, contact information, title, and the names of the deceased, beneficiaries, and any other relevant parties. The affidavit should also detail the specific powers granted to the attorney-in-fact and any limitations or conditions associated with their authority.
