Notary Services
Spanish Wills
Whether you are Non-Resident or Resident, it is important to have a separate Will, prepared and registered in Spain, covering just your Spanish assets.
With the minimum amount of fuss, we prepare Spanish Wills for clients owning property in Spain. Our service includes the preparation of the Will and translation in front of the Notary.
Once signed, you can be assured that your assets will be dealt with in the manner that you wish, and avoid expensive and timely delays which occur when no will has been made in Spain.
Power of Attorney
This is the process whereby you nominate someone to transact on your behalf, for example to buy or sell houses, open bank accounts and sign documents.
This can be between partners and on a reciprocal basis, giving both equal rights to effect transactions on behalf of each other. Also, this can be arranged for a third party, meaning that the purchasers/sellers of properties do not need to be present at the Notary when the sale takes place.
Power of Attorney can be given to one or two persons, for example, meaning that if one person cannot attend the signing for a property, the second person can go in their place and both represent the original Buyer/Seller. Spanish Solutions can offer this type of representation.
The POA takes place in the Notary, in front of the people transferring powers and a translator. The document can be produced in Spanish, or in Spanish and English.
POA can be arranged with an expiry date, and after this date the document becomes invalid. This means that the person holding POA can only transact on behalf of the individual for a limited period. If POA is granted for an indefinite period of time, the same people have to return to the Notary when they desire to revoke the Power.
Translation Services
To complete any transaction in the Notary Office, you will require a translator to assist and translate in front of the Notary. We can provide translators to assist with all aspects of Notary services.
We can also arrange for official translations of any documents which you may require – for example birth and wedding certificates, Title deeds of properties and contracts for services.
Notarised Documents
As a simple and convenient alternative to carrying original documents, many clients prefer to arrange for an official Notarised copy of their passport, driving license or Residencia Card. Once stamped by the Notary, the document then takes on the same authority as the original and makes it much easier to replace any lost or misplaced documents.
