I'm the host of Puerto Rico Dish by Dish which includes recipes, news flashes, stories, history, information on artisans, etc. etc. See http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/PuertoRicoDishbyDish I enjoy cooking although I occasionally screw up dishes here and there. I love to make desserts....I actually love to make them more than eat them. I also enjoy "urban" gardening. Trying to learn to be more health conscious!
What are the Puerto Rico real estate property rights of a widower vs. previous marriage children of deceased?
My father, in his 70s, was legally remarried with four children from wife's previous marriage plus one child they conceived together (these children are all adults now).
As a married couple, they purchased a house in Puerto Rico together which they rented out for income. They alternated receiving of checks. My father would receive a check one month then the next month's check would go to his wife and so on.
Last February his wife passed away. My father was so distraught he had to be put on medication which affected his memory. At first we thought it was altzheimers but then we came to find it was the medication.
During this time, those adult children took procedures (without his knowledge or mine) to take over the house. They've opened a bank account & are claiming all checks. I'm not exactly sure what those procedures were, I tried to ask them but they are extremely defensive and refuse to communicate with me believing that I want to take everything away from them.
I'm still trying to work out what happened but have to overcome father's memory. We're heading to the bank now to see how we can straighten this mess out.
I'd just like some background info on his PR property rights or anyother steps or information I can gather to help him. My father, who has struggled and worked hard all his life, is not even in his grave for children he raised as his own to be swiping his property from him! I am doing ok for myself and have no desire to inherit anything. I just think at this age a person should have peace in their lives.
PLEASE HELP!

2 AnswersPuerto Rico1 decade agoRecipe for specific fritter from Puerto Rico? Please see description below before answering.?
SERIOUS REPLIES ONLY PLEASE.
I am looking for the recipe of a puerto rican fritter.
I know how the name of the fritter is pronounced but not sure how it's spelled: Guichi, Wichi, or Uichi. I'm almost sure it's the first one.
It's similar to a papa rellena except that it has cheese inside, I don't know what kind of cheese, and I've eaten it in the town of Corozal with ham inside, although I'm not sure if that would be called something different. I do know that it's a popular fritter in the town of Comerio.
If anyone knows what I'm talking about could you please get me the recipe? Or could you be kind enough to ask around for me? Thanks a million!

3 AnswersPuerto Rico1 decade agoWhat does the Puerto Rican phrase Odio Al Chota mean?
This was a tatoo that one of Puerto Rico's most notorious murderers had and I was reading his biography and came across this piece of information.
Does anyone know what it means. I am spanish speaking and I'm figuring it means "I Hate Squeelers/Whistleblowers" but I am not sure if I am correct.
I say that I am looking for the meaning of the "Puerto Rican" phrase because I realize that in different latino countries the same phrase can mean different things. I am looking for the meaning of the phrase and NOT the meaning of the word.
