Property in Puerto Rico

[oneyb]

My question is for property in Puerto Rico. I hope you can help. If a property is purchased in Puerto Rico by an unmarried couple and one of them dies, does it automatically belong to the other? The title has both names. Or does half the property legally belong to the children of the one that died?
