Points to verify before investing
Title structure. The website mentions 1-hectare parcels but does not publicly detail the legal title structure (fiduciary, direct ownership, corporate vehicle). Request structural documentation + proposed title before committing capital.
Fees and operating costs. Not publicly declared. Request full breakdown: annual maintenance, harvest costs, sales commissions, transfer taxes, legal/management costs.
Legal framework citations. United Nature mentions Law 24/1992 among cited exemptions. Articles 6 and 7 of Law 24 — the core of the original incentives — were repealed by Law 69/2017. Actual tax applicability depends on the project's registration date and the investor's individual structure. Current status of Law 24.
Forestry Express and fast PR. United Nature does not publicly document the Forestry Express option (USD 350K → PR in 6 months). If the goal is fast residency, confirm explicit availability or consider Foresteak.
