Philadelphia, PA asked in Estate Planning and Probate for Pennsylvania

Q: I am seeking an english speaking notary or lawyer in Puerto Rico to help with probate.

My father passed away 4 months ago in PR. My 3 brothers and myself live on the mainland, however my father's now wife resides on the island. My siblings and I would like to inherit our individual share of the small property, but uncertain how to begin. My father's wife is in the process of submitting the Declaration of Heirs. Would you be able to assist or help guide me in the right direction, as we do not live on the island therefore it makes it a little difficult to gather and understand the process.
