Each guide is signed by a lawyer, carries the date it was last reviewed, and cites the statute it relies on so you can check it yourself. If reading one means you decide you do not need us, that is a good outcome.
The full sequence: tax number, ten-year title search, promise of sale, deed, registration and the taxes that follow. What foreigners can and cannot buy, and why the registry is the transfer.
Which country's law decides, who inherits without a will, what forced heirship reserves for the family, whether a foreign will works here, and why an inherited house cannot be sold until the estate is granted and registered.
The 1% to 25% scale, the allowance each heir gets by relationship, a worked example, the two-year deadline, and what changes when the heir or the assets are abroad.
The power of attorney that actually works at a Chilean notary, capital gains and the allowance expressed in UF, and what a Chilean bank will ask before it lets the money leave.
New homes without VAT and gifts to children at half the tax from 1 December 2026, offshore asset regularisation for residents, and the corporate rate falling to 23%.
What a city apartment never raises: indigenous land that cannot be sold, the coastal strip that belongs to the State, rural plots and what you may build on them, water rights, access and border zones.
What a Chilean company gains you and what it costs: the capital gains allowance you give up, the deductions you get, what creditor protection really means, and why succession is the strongest argument.
What Chilean banks ask a non-resident for, why the tax number alone does not open an account, and how a property purchase or sale is paid without a Chilean account.
The vehicle registry certificate, liens and theft reports, how the transfer is signed and registered, and why a used car cannot be brought into Chile.
The tax number without which nothing moves: why you need one to buy or inherit, how a non-resident obtains it, and the things people wrongly assume it gives them.
