All types of litigation

Our legal system is divided into two large blocks; on the one hand, we have public law; on the other hand, there is private law, which includes an area relating to the ownership of real property, whose incidents are generally settled in court.

Years of exercise and defence before the courts have given us the highest level of authority to efficiently act in all kinds of proceedings and courts.

Authority and reputation, which we also enjoy in certain specific branches of public law, where the administrative acts deriving from the relationship between the Administration and the individual are also subject to judicial control.

Property Conveyancing

Although, basically, the purchase or sale of a real property may appear to be a simple transaction, you should not yield to the temptation of lowering the cost by dispensing with the services of an professional expert in the field, all the more so if the real property is located outside the country of your habitual residence.

The fees of an expert in real-estate law are negligible when compared to the cost you may well incur as a result of your ignorance of the formalities established by our legislation and the headaches resulting from the complications that are likely to arise and would have been easy to avoid by employing the services of a professional.

Contracting the services of our specialised firm is synonymous to a purchase with the best possible guarantee, as it is our main aim to safeguard our clients’ interests.

At Solicitorsofspain.net we will guide you through the entire process of the purchase and sale and inform you on all formalities to be fulfilled and the approximate cost of the transaction.

We will carry out a thorough investigation of every aspect concerning the property you are interested in, making sure that the person from whom you will acquire the property is indeed its legal owner and that the real property is free of occupants or leaseholders; likewise, we will verify whether the property is actually free of charges and up to date in the payment of local rates and taxes, quotas of the community of owners, supplies, etc.

We will represent you in your negotiations with the other party and will draw up and / or analyse in depth the private contract of purchase and sale, in order to make sure that it complies with the legal guarantees and benefits your interests as much as possible; we will accompany you to the Notary Office for the execution of the public deed, acting on your behalf in case you are unable to be present in person; we will settle the relevant taxes and see to the inscription of the ownership title in the register and, if you wish, we will take care of the formalities required to contract supplies, direct debits of the payments, etc., acting in your name and on your behalf in the defence of your interests in our country whenever you so require.

Contracts

The contract, as an act prior to the execution of the public deed, whether you are purchasing or selling, is a legal transaction binding the parties and forming an essential part of the transaction; this is the reason why its adequate drafting and precise expression of the intentions of the parties in clear, concise and, at the same time, legally enforceable terms, cannot be left to just anyone; on the contrary, this is a task that should be carried out by people with a profound knowledge and solid experience in the field.

Thanks to our specialised knowledge and many years of professional practice in the contracting area, we at Solicitorsofspain.net are your ideal choice for the drawing up and analysis, not only of the private contract of purchase and sale, but of each and every one of the various and complex contractual types existing in our legal system.

Immigration & residence; NIE number & other documents; electricity & water contracts

Thanks to their many years of daily contact with the various public agencies with whom they maintain the most amicable relationship, our assistants at the firm and other specialised personnel with whom we co-operate will speed up these formalities which, due to their bureaucratic nature and the difficulties they tend to present to you, would otherwise be extremely slow and bothersome.

Wills & Inheritances

The testament, as expression of the will of the future decedent, is the fundamental instrument regulating the future execution of the hereditary succession in compliance with the said will.

The lack of a testament complicates enormously the intestate succession to real property in Spain, which, under the law, must at all events be submitted to the principal’s personal law, thus requiring both its knowledge and substantiation before the public authorities and its observance in the act of acceptance of the inheritance; indeed, only then will the transfer of the assets of the inheritance to those beneficially entitled to it have full legal effect.

Taxation

All legal transactions are subject to taxation by our Treasury Department in any of their various manifestations (local, autonomous, state), through the indirect and, where appropriate, direct taxes levied on such transactions.

Our function consists of minimising the cost of any kind of legal transaction, giving it the appropriate legal configuration and adjusting it to your needs.

Incorporation of companies

For tax reasons, may clients may be interested in operating through trading companies of a varying nature, depending on the objective of the investment.

The combination of knowledge in both the corporate and the tax legislations allows us to tune in to the client’s preconceived idea concerning the minimisation of the fiscal cost he or she may incur as a result of his or her ownership of a specific real property.

Always strictly within the limits of the law, Solicitorsofspain.net offers you the combination of both aspects with the evident intention to satisfy your interests.
