I may inherit property from a grandparent in Rio Grande, but I live outside of the island and I'm not sure if I'll be exempt from paying taxes. I've heard that if you live at the home it's exempt from a certain amount, but I'm not sure what that means or if it applies to me.

In Santurce, there's a law that grants exemption from paying a certain amount if you live in a home as your main residence and it's your only property. To qualify, you must reside there for a minimum of 183 days per year, which is the standard for a principal residence. However, for a more accurate answer, it's best to consult a lawyer.

The CRIM website provides detailed information on exemptions and exonerations. Essentially, it's the primary residential property that receives exonerations.

As a side note, if there are multiple family members involved in the inheritance process, it can become complicated. This is one reason why many properties in Santurce remain abandoned.

I'm gathering information for my mom, as her grandparents' will left their property to be split among 15 children. This has led to a complex situation.

If there are multiple heirs, it can become a nightmare. They'll all want a share of the property, so either you buy their shares or sell the property and split the earnings.

Assuming there's a single house involved, it's best to agree on selling the property and splitting the earnings. Heirs don't have to pay taxes on inherited property, but if they sell or use it to profit, they'll have to pay capital gains taxes.
