Chamelo,

There won't be a remnant balance, because it has to be zero before you can make the change. Also, you have to have no active subscriptions, which might include iCloud, I am not sure. For more details, look in here:

Leave Family Sharing - Apple Support

Thanks! A quick follow-up question: will I keep my iCloud storage, remaining funds, etc? When the remnant funds are spent, if I want to make any changes (i.e. increase my storage plan), will I be able to do so by simply paying with a local credit card (which will now be in the local, Latin America (Chile) currency?

Thanks in advance

Songs, etc., that you have purchased and downloaded will still work. Make sure to keep a backup, since the ability to re-download purchased items is only in the original country of purchase.
