Spanish Law
Every year, many thousands of people from Britain buy properties in Spain and so place themselves and their assets under Spanish jurisdiction.
Chebsey & Co incorporates a Spanish Law Department based in Beaconsfield with an in-house native Spanish Abogado who can assist in all matters relating to the Spanish legal system, including:
Conveyancing
Buying property in Spain is very different from the UK process and it is wise to consult a specialist lawyer before you sign any documents. We have the experience to take you through the potential minefield by ensuring that the legal process is adhered to and that you secure full title to your property. We can advise and act on:
- The terms of your offer
- Local Land Registry searches, registration and payments
- Transfer of funds
- Completion of the public title
- Power of Attorney arrangements
Wills, Probate & Taxation
You will need to make a separate will to cover your Spanish assets in order to avoid penalties from the Spanish tax authorities and inheritance problems. We can draft your will in Spanish and arrange to execute it in Spain or in the UK. In the unfortunate event of death of a member of your family, or a partner who has assets in Spain, we can assist you with the probate procedure.
Civil Litigation
We can assist you with legal problems arising from accidents, illness, property disputes and such like, and our in-house specialist can supervise matters personally before the Spanish court system.
