Matrimonial, divorce and family issues relating to property
We can assist and help minimise difficulties relating to Spanish property following the break up of a marriage or relationship, dealing with the sale or transfer from one ex-partner to the other.
Where the sale or transfer on divorce of a Spanish property from one ex partner to the other is to take place, as English lawyers specialising in Spanish law, we can help right from the outset of divorce proceedings.
A copy of the Spanish title deeds should be obtained to verify the ownership arrangements. An up-to-date valuation will also be required and would be used as a basis for any negotiations as well as for the calculation of taxes payable in Spain on the transfer of property.
Court orders in relation to Spanish property will usually involve a transfer into the sole name of one of the parties. Sometimes the UK court order may include a sale of the Spanish property or the retention of the property in joint names. Any UK and Spanish tax related consequences need to be considered at the earliest opportunity.
We are happy to advise individuals and / or other UK Solicitors on the wording to put in a Consent Order dealing with Spanish property so that problems can be minimised with its implementation. The Spanish notario would be responsible for giving effect to the order but will need as much help as possible to achieve a rapid, clear and satisfactory conclusion. We have many years' experience on this area.
