OTIS for individuals

OTIS offers a wide range of legal services to foreign individuals in Spain. In Dutch, Spanish or English we assist individuals from European and North American countries.

We explain them in more detail on this page, but of course you can also contact us for other types of family law or litigation in Spain.

OTIS for buying a property in Spain

Do you want to buy a house in Spain? To enjoy it yourself or to (partially) rent it out?

OTIS is the go-to party in Spain to protect you from all the infamous pitfalls.

One reason for the high level of problems is that in the vast majority of Spain, real estate agents do not need diplomas and, as we often see in practice, they might not care if the cadastral registrations are incorrect and part of your land suddenly turns out to belong to the neighbour.

Even the entries in the property register are often far from correct.

When the sea view turns out to be for the neighbours…

Are you purchasing a property on a beautiful piece of land with a sea view as shown in the photos? Be cautious, as it might formally consist of two separate plots. The notary might not even be aware of this, and you could end up with a front garden without a sea view while another house is suddenly built on the adjacent plot, obstructing your view.

Unfortunately, we recently received a request for legal assistance to address a situation where a land-grabber exploited a similar scenario.

… and other painful examples

Or you buy a favourably priced apartment – what a bargain! – but the owners’ association turns out to be in debt or it is from a period when almost all apartments in Spain suffer from concrete decay.

Not to mention illegal extensions whose demolition is requested by the municipality – obviously only after the purchase and payment.

Therefore, always engage a lawyer

All these examples, which are just a small selection, unfortunately still occur relatively often.

Therefore, engage a lawyer, and who better than OTIS, the only one with offices throughout all of Spain – welcome!

OTIS for when you inherit or gift in Spain

Preventing double taxation in both your home country and Spain on inheritances and gifts is not provided for in all Tax Treaties between Spain and other countries.

However, different countries have unilateral arrangements that – if carefully executed – can have the same effect. This can involve high tax rates and large amounts.

Good guidance is crucial

Wills must be executed correctly and assets in Spain, such as properties, must also be transferred to the correct new names. Good guidance in this matter is crucial, so feel free to contact us easily.

OTIS is quick and multilingual

In all the above situations OTIS Legal Group is your designated partner in Spain. One of the key advantages of OTIS is our ability to assist you quickly, leveraging our extensive experience with similar cases. Additionally, we offer multilingual communication in English, Spanish, and Dutch, ensuring clear and effective support.

We are happy to be of service.
