FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common legal questions from our international clients on the Costa del Sol.

While not legally mandatory, hiring a lawyer to buy property in Spain is strongly recommended — especially for foreign buyers. A property lawyer in Mijas will conduct essential due diligence: checking the nota simple (land registry extract) for hidden debts or charges, verifying planning permissions, reviewing reservation and purchase contracts, and ensuring the property is legally habitable. Without independent legal representation, buyers risk purchasing properties with outstanding mortgages, disputed boundaries, or illegal extensions. The cost of a property lawyer (typically 1% of the purchase price) is a small price compared to the potential losses from an unprotected transaction.
Foreign nationals married and living in Spain can obtain a divorce through the Spanish courts. If both parties agree on all terms (consensual divorce), the process typically takes 2–3 months and is considerably less expensive. A contested divorce, where spouses disagree on custody, assets, or maintenance, can take 6–12 months or longer. Your lawyer will prepare the divorce petition, represent you at hearings, and ensure the final judgment is properly registered. If your marriage was registered abroad, we also handle the recognition of foreign divorces in Spain. Contact our office in La Cala de Mijas for a free initial consultation.
The NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) is a tax identification number required by all foreign nationals in Spain for any significant financial or legal activity. You need an NIE to buy property, open a bank account, sign a rental contract, pay taxes, register a vehicle, or start a business. The application process involves attending a police station or consulate with specific forms, passport copies, and supporting documentation. Queues can be long and the process confusing for first-timers. Our law office in La Cala de Mijas handles NIE applications on your behalf, saving you time and avoiding costly errors.
Yes. British nationals can still move to and reside in Spain after Brexit, but the process is now more complex than for EU citizens. The main options include: the Non-Lucrative Visa (for retirees or those with sufficient income who do not work in Spain), the Golden Visa (for those investing €500,000 or more in Spanish property), the Digital Nomad Visa (for remote workers), and other work-based visas. British nationals already resident before 31 December 2020 should have exchanged their EU green certificate for a TIE card (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero). Our immigration lawyer in Mijas guides you through every step of the post-Brexit residency process.
Yes, having a Spanish will is strongly recommended for anyone owning assets in Spain. While a foreign will may technically be recognised in Spain, the process of having it verified, translated, apostilled, and enforced through the Spanish courts is slow, expensive, and stressful for your heirs. A Spanish will, signed before a notary in Spain and registered in the Central Registry of Last Wills (Registro Central de Actos de Última Voluntad), allows your estate to be administered quickly and efficiently. Under EU Regulation 650/2012, you can also choose that the law of your nationality governs your estate. Our wills lawyer in Mijas makes the process simple and straightforward.
The most common business structure for foreigners in Spain is the Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada (SL), equivalent to a UK Limited Company or US LLC. Recent reforms have reduced the minimum share capital to just €1. The process involves obtaining an NIE, reserving a company name with the Mercantile Registry, drafting the articles of association (estatutos), signing the deed of incorporation before a notary, and registering with the Mercantile Registry and the Spanish Tax Agency (HACIENDA). The full process typically takes 2–4 weeks. Alternatively, many smaller businesses register as autónomo (self-employed). Our business lawyer in Mijas will advise on the best structure for your situation and handle all the paperwork.
