Real Estate Law

Real Estate Law is one of our law firm’s cornerstones. After over thirty years of practising law, we have handled a large number of transactions related to the purchase and sale, mortgages, and leasing of real estate between private individuals and companies, residents, and non-residents. We take care to guarantee not only the strictest legality of the operations and the best results, but also a prior administrative analysis, involving city councils, provincial councils, communities of residents and other interested entities to provide the most efficient service. In this regard, our real estate law department works closely with the tax and urban planning department, thereby offering a multidisciplinary service that encompasses the operation’s tax and administrative aspects in addition to the strictly civil aspects of the transaction.

Family and inheritance law

A large number of matters handled by our firm relate to inheritance law, namely the necessary procedures relating to succession after the death of a person and the destination of existing assets and rights. Our work in this area covers the tax and registry aspects that all inheritance procedures, whether testate or intestate, entail, dealing with the settlement of the estate and carrying out the necessary procedures up to the registration of the assets and rights in the corresponding registries. We can also assist you in court in matters involving separation and divorce, paternal-filial relations, and incapacity.

Administrative law

Administrative law as a branch of law that regulates the relations between various administrations with individuals and companies leads to countless situations for which proper advice is essential.

Permits and legalisation of works : Many properties pose problems of an urban planning nature, either due to being built without the corresponding permits or going beyond their terms. There may also be cases involving overbuilding or where regulations are not complied with. At our firm we process all types of urban planning permits, as well as the legalisation of works with the aforementioned problems, both on urban and non-development (“rustic”) land.

Compulsory expropriation and valuations: We handle all phases of the expropriation proceedings in order to obtain the best results for our clients, before the Provincial Expropriation Jury and, where appropriate, in the contentious administrative jurisdiction.

The liability to contribute funds of the administration: The principle of the extra-contractual liability to contribute funds of State administrations, regarding the damages suffered by individuals involving any of their goods and rights, as long as it is a consequence of the functioning of public services is a principle regulated in art. 106 of the Spanish Constitution. Our firm will advise you and, if necessary, appear before the different administrations and courts to defend your rights.

Medical malpractice: In the event of a medical error or malpractice that causes damage, whether physical or psychological, our firm will help you to obtain either reparation of the damage caused or financial compensation.
