Frequently Asked Questions
Can I divorce in Spain if I married abroad?
In many cases yes, if either spouse habitually lives in Spain. We review your situation and the marriage documents.
What is the deadline for inheritance tax in Spain?
Six months from the date of death, with the option to request an extension. Surcharges apply after the deadline.
My landlord won't return my deposit. What can I do?
First we claim it in writing. If they still don't pay, you can go to court; for small amounts you don't need a lawyer. We help you prepare the claim.
Do I need advice to buy a house in Spain?
It is strongly recommended. Checking the land registry, debts on the property and the deposit contract before signing avoids losing money or inheriting someone else's charges.
