ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

NOTARY • LAWYER with LOW•Cheap Rates & OPEN Evenings, Saturdays & Sundays - in Escazu, Costa Rica - FLOR de MORENO MORA

(L-R - Flor and doTerra's Adele Notarizing some documents!)
NOTARY • LAWYER • ABOGADO

FLOR de MORENO Mora

FLOR de MORENO Mora is a NOTARY which UN-like in the U.S., a "NOTARY" in Costa Rica is a HIGHER form of a Lawyer • Abogado who has completed additional 2 years of training and are certified specifically as Notaries.  They are who you OFTEN MUST use to get LOTS of things done around here (hence you get to spend MUCH more $$$/colones to get things done in Costa Rica)(how DIFFERENT that is from the U.S.!!)!!


A few years ago I had her notarize some U.S. Inheritance Papers (never got anything from it - booo!!) for me (MEGA EASY) plus Adele to Flor at 7pm on a Friday evening to do Car Transfer papers (a bit complicated) and both times she charged just 10,000-colones (about $20 [NOTE rates have I'm sure gone up but )!!!   One guy DESPERATELY NEEDED some documents signed on a Sunday and she was there for him!!!

Plus she is REALLY SWEET!!! 

LANGUAGE:  
Flor does NOT SPEAK much English but I think she understands a LOT more than she lets on!
(Don't speak much Español?   Bring a friend - or have an English/Spanish speaking taxi driver bring you.  NOTE if you use them for anything more than a Point A to Point B ride, PLEASE be VERY GENEROUS with your tip to them and or ask what their hourly rate would be to help you!!
See my list of English-Speaking Taxi Drivers at: 
LivingLifeInCostaRica.blogspot.com/2012/08/EnglishSpeakingTaxisCR.html
RATES:
Rates vary by what she is doing and how long it takes but I can tell you, she had the CHEAPEST rates of any Notary I've encounters•heard of!!!.

HOURS:  
Since she works from her house she is often available when others are not including evenings, Saturdays AND Sundays for emergencies!

LOCATION:  
Escazu (Centro)
a couple blocks West of the Beacon Hotel (she'll give you directions when you make an appointment)


CONTACT:  
2-228-1797 • 8-880-7983 • FMoreno@abagados.or.cr


PLEASE make sure to tell Flor that VICKI CONNECTED you 
(the BIG Beautiful Red Head gal with the blog!!)!!!

NOTE:
If you find someone who's services you like, PLEASE do NOT hoard their information to yourself (often I find people are like this because they're afraid of them not having access to their service if/when they may need it again one day - or because they're afraid their prices will go up if they get busy -
BUT -
what most likely will happen is they may HAVE to closer their business - because people did not share their info!!!)
