It is essential to use a qualified Solicitor in all conveyance matters. We will make sure all transactions are executed properly according to law. This includes confirming the seller of the property is the legal owner, that there are no debts on the property, and much more besides.

Whether you are a resident or not, it is important to have a will, registered in Spain, covering your spanish assets.

Your estate will be subject to spanish inheritance tax if you die but there are certain reductions for relatives.

We provide a full service in english and spanish, dealing with the probate of Spanish Wills, the estate administration and all inheritance issues.

A Power of Attorney is a convenient and commonly used way of finalising transactions in Spain by authorising a trusted representative.

Signing the conveyance title deed in the Notary can take a very long time. Therefore, we recommend granting power of attorney to act on your behalf to save you the hassle of frequent travel.

Without Residencia you are not legally entitled to stay in Spain more than 90 days without a Temporary Residence Permit.

Applying for Residencia is beneficial. For example, it means that you don't pay Capital Gains Tax when you sell your property along with other tax benefits, although you will have to pay IRPF once a year. Pensioners holding a Residencia are also entitled to the same benefits as Spanish Nationals, reduced rail and bus fares, medicines.

Letralia Lawyers guide our clients through the whole process. This involves making sure that the company name is legally unique, opening a spanish bank accont, obtaining an NIE number if you do not already have one, execute the company constitution deeds, dealing with company regulations to be legally documented, pay property transfer and stamp duty tax and finally finalizing the registration of the company with the appropriate offices.
