Buying, inheriting and keeping a home from abroad
Written for Cubans living outside the island and for anyone with family property in Cuba. Who can legally be an owner, how to buy or sell without travelling, what happens to a house you leave behind, and how an inheritance is resolved when no heir is on the island. This is the area where the rules have changed most in the last two years, so each guide separates what is already in force from what has only been approved.
