Smart Moves by Mecan Legal
Spain Digital Nomad Visa: Complete Legal Guide
The digital nomad visa lets you live in Spain while keeping foreign clients or an overseas employer, but the rules are not as simple as they look. At Mecan Legal we assess requirements, income, tax position and paperwork so your move is secure and your permit is not put at risk.
Renting Out Your Spanish Home Mid-Term: Legal Guide
Medium-term rentals in Spain can be a smart way for foreign owners to generate income without committing to a classic long-term tenancy or jumping into tourist licences. This guide explains how seasonal contracts from one month onwards work, why regional rules matter, and how to structure clauses and tax so your property strategy stays compliant.
Buying or Selling Property in Spain from Abroad
Buying or selling property in Spain from abroad is perfectly possible with a well-drafted power of attorney and the right legal team on the ground. Beyond signing at the notary, Mecan Legal carries out pre-sale legal studies, regularises surface discrepancies and undeclared works, and coordinates with award-winning architects so your villa, penthouse or rural home reaches buyers with its legal situation and value properly protected.
Legal Support for Construction and Major Renovations in Spain
A major build in Spain is not managed by plans alone. It is managed through contracts, site minutes and documented decisions. A construction lawyer coordinates architects and contractors, structures delay penalties and protects your duties as promotor. Mecan Legal combines legal control, tax awareness and dispute strategy to keep budgets and timelines defensible.
Executors and Foreign Heirs: Managing Estates in Spain
When a deceased person leaves assets in Spain, the estate becomes more complex if heirs and the executor are abroad. You must identify assets, coordinate cross-border documents, sign before a Spanish notary and meet strict tax deadlines. Mecan Legal acts as local representative, coordinates with foreign notaries and law firms, and manages registration and sales to close the Spanish segment safely
Legal Marriage in Spain for Foreign Residents: Notary Weddings, Prenups and Property
Getting legally married in Spain as foreign residents is not just signing papers. It involves documents, language logistics and, crucially, your marital property regime, which affects assets, debts and inheritance. A tailored prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can prevent future conflict, especially with pre-existing wealth or children. Mecan Legal coordinates the notary process, agreements and property structure for international couples.
How to Incorporate a Company in Spain as a Foreigner
Incorporating a Spanish company as a foreigner can be efficient with the right planning, but mistakes around NIEs, bylaws, powers of attorney and tax setup often cause delays and personal liability for directors. At Mecan Legal we handle the process end to end: structure, notary, registry, banking and coordination with visas if you or key staff will relocate.
Changing Your Residence Permit Type in Spain: Options and Renewals
Most foreigners in Spain do not stay under the same permit forever. You might start as a student, on a non-lucrative visa or as a family member and later need to work, start a business or gain independence. Changing your residence permit type in Spain and planning renewals correctly is essential to avoid gaps, refusals and losing years for long-term residence or citizenship.
Starting a Small Business in Spain as a Foreigner
Opening a small activity in Spain – classes, consulting, a shop or studio – looks simple, but involves permits, registration, tax and immigration rules. Mecan Legal aligns your residence status, legal structure and tax obligations so you can start “small” with confidence and without surprises from the tax office or town hall.
Buying Parking Spaces or Storage Units in Spain
Buying a parking space or storage unit in Spain seems simple, but some garages are short-term concessions and others are inseparable annexes to a flat. This guide explains the basic legal checks you should make so the unit you reserve can really be sold and rented as you expect.
Highly Qualified Professional Visa in Spain: Explained
If you are a senior or highly skilled professional and want to work in Spain, the Highly Qualified Professional regime can offer faster processing, better family options and more certainty.

Inherited a Property in Spain with Siblings? Your Options
Inheriting a property in Spain with siblings can be a gift or a serious source of tension.
