Acting as executor of estate with Spanish assets adds cross-border legal and tax responsibilities. Spanish notarial procedures, inheritance tax deadlines and property registry formalities must be handled correctly to avoid delays and personal liability. Understanding how Spanish law interacts with the foreign will is essential for a smooth administration.
Choosing the wrong visa can delay your move, limit your options and create tax problems later. At Mecan Legal, we design a personalised immigration strategy based on your income, family, business plans and long-term goals. A structured consultation helps you choose the right Spanish residence route before you commit.
Reuniting in Spain with an EU citizen partner or relative can be faster than other routes, but it still requires strong proof of the relationship and sufficient means. At Mecan Legal we prepare complete files, coordinate marriage or registered partnership documentation, and help you avoid refusals, delays and future issues if the relationship changes.
The non-lucrative visa is one of the most popular routes to live in Spain on savings or a pension, but it is also frequently refused due to paperwork and insurance mistakes. At Mecan Legal we build a strong file, review income evidence and health insurance, include family correctly, and plan renewals and a future change of status.
Spain’s job-seeker residence is a key opportunity for non-EU graduates who want to stay legally after finishing studies. Success depends on strict timing, the right university certificates and a coherent file. At Mecan Legal we prepare the application and, most importantly, the next-step plan so you can convert that year into a work or highly qualified professional permit.
In blended families with children from different relationships and assets in several countries, a standard will is not enough. At Mecan Legal we analyse spouses, partners, children and cross-border wealth to draft a Spanish will that is clear, coordinated with other countries and designed to reduce conflict between generations.
A farmhouse with olive trees, views and silence can be a dream or a legal headache. At Mecan Legal we check land status, buildings, licences, water, access and permitted uses before you sign, so buying rural property in Spain is a safe decision, not a gamble
Moving to Spain with school-age children involves far more than choosing a city and a school. Mecan Legal coordinates visas, registration, school enrolment and education contracts so your relocation is legally sound, well planned and as stress-free as possible for the whole family.
Buying repossessed or auction property in Spain can look cheap, but the discount often hides debts, occupation risks and procedural traps. This guide explains a professional approach: pre-bid due diligence, a clear go/no-go report and an execution plan. Mecan Legal structures risk so you invest with control and defensible documentation.
Bringing your dog or cat to Spain involves far more than buying a carrier. Travel rules, vaccines, microchips, insurance and rental clauses can all affect your plans. Mecan Legal helps you align legal requirements with your move so your pet’s arrival is smooth, safe and free of avoidable disputes.
