Horizontal Property

Efficient legal management for owner communities — bylaws, fee collection, conflict mediation and representation before authorities.

Who it’s for

For the owner who has conflicts with their owners’ board or administration. For the developer who needs to correctly establish the horizontal property regime for their project. For the owners’ board that needs legal advice to make decisions or collect maintenance fees. For the foreign buyer who acquired a unit in Panama and doesn’t understand their rights within the regime.

Situations we help with

  • Establishing the horizontal property regime for developers.
  • Review and drafting of co-ownership bylaws.
  • Advising owners’ boards on decision-making and meeting notices.
  • Collection of maintenance fees and management of delinquent owners. Resolution of conflicts between owners and administration. Challenges to assembly resolutions.
  • Conflicts over improper use of common areas.
  • Amendments to the co-ownership bylaws.

What’s included

  • Legal analysis of the client’s specific situation within the regime.
  • Review of the co-ownership bylaws and assembly minutes.
  • Drafting or updating of regime documents. Advice on owner meeting notices and assemblies. Management of conflicts between owners or with the administration.
  • Legal representation in cases of breach or disputes.

What sets us apart

  • Horizontal property combines civil law, contract law and administrative management.
  • It’s not just about resolving conflicts between neighbors. It’s about ensuring the regime works correctly so the value of each property is protected and collective decisions are made within the legal framework.

Horizontal property in Panama is a constantly growing sector but with complex regulations. You need a strategic legal approach that optimizes management and avoids conflicts.
