Ongoing personal legal support in Spain

A lawyer in Spain who already knows your situation — your property, your family, your documents — so that every question, contract or problem is handled with context, not from scratch. Monthly plans, in English, with agreed response times.

Common situations

When ongoing support makes the difference

For international clients with property, family or recurring decisions in Spain.

  • You own property in Spain and live abroad

    Notices, community decisions, rental questions and renewals appear all year — not only when you visit.

  • Documents in Spanish keep arriving

    Letters from authorities, banks, insurers or communities that you need understood and answered correctly.

  • You sign things in Spain several times a year

    Contracts, renewals and authorisations reviewed before signature by someone who knows your context.

  • Your family has interests spread across countries

    Inheritances, powers of attorney and decisions that touch Spain and need coordination, not improvisation.

  • You want prevention, not emergency calls

    Asking before deciding costs a fraction of fixing a bad decision — and with a plan, asking has no friction.

  • You are tired of explaining everything from scratch

    Each new adviser asks for the whole story. Your personal lawyer already has the file and the context.

How we work

How we work, step by step

  1. Choose your plan

    Personal (€79/month), Familiar (€169/month) or Patrimonio (€349/month), VAT included — we help you pick the one that fits your actual usage.

  2. Onboarding: your situation, documented

    We collect the essentials of your situation in Spain — property, family, recurring matters — so future questions start from context, not from zero.

  3. Ask through the portal

    Send your question or document through the client portal and receive an answer within the plan’s agreed timeframe, in English.

  4. Bigger works, quoted separately

    When something exceeds the plan — a purchase, an inheritance, a claim — you receive a written quote with your plan discount, and decide freely.

What we need from you

  • A summary of your situation in Spain: property, family context, interests
  • The documents you sign or receive regularly: contracts, notices, policies
  • Any ongoing matter you want us to know about from the start
  • Your preferred contact channels and who else may consult on your behalf

The onboarding is simpler than it looks: one structured conversation and the documents you already have.

Fees

Known in advance, confirmed in writing

The monthly plans are published: Personal at €79/month, Familiar at €169/month and Patrimonio at €349/month, VAT included, with inclusions and exclusions stated in writing. You receive a warning when the monthly capacity is close to its limit, and anything beyond it is quoted separately with your plan discount — never charged by surprise.

Fees are always confirmed in writing before any engagement begins.

Illustrative scenario

What a matter like this can look like

Illustrative scenario, not a real case nor a promise of results.

The family in London with a flat, a tenant and a notice in Madrid

Situation

A family living in London owns a rented flat in Madrid. In one month they receive a community notice about building works, the tenant asks to renew with new terms, and their bank requests updated documentation — all in Spanish, all with deadlines.

The risk of doing nothing

Without someone watching these fronts, a notice goes unanswered, the renewal gets signed with unfavourable terms, and each issue is solved reactively — more expensive and more stressful than preventing it.

What we would need

  • The rental contract and the tenant’s renewal proposal
  • The community notice with its deadline
  • The bank’s request and the family’s details in Spain

What the firm would do

  • Answer the community notice correctly and within its deadline
  • Review and negotiate the renewal terms before signature
  • Handle the bank request and log everything in the client portal

Quoted separately

  • Any dispute with the tenant, quoted separately if it arises
  • Notarial acts if the family grants or renews powers

Frequently asked questions

Questions international clients usually ask

What exactly is ongoing personal legal support?

A monthly plan that gives you a lawyer in Spain who already knows your situation: your property, your family context, your documents. When a question, a contract or a problem appears, you do not start from zero with a stranger — you ask someone who has your file.

What can I use the monthly capacity for?

Written questions, document reviews and orientation on decisions, within the monthly capacity of your plan. Larger works — an inheritance, a purchase, a claim — are quoted separately, with the plan discount applied, and never started without your written acceptance.

Is this useful if I only visit Spain a few times a year?

That is precisely who it serves best. Owning property or having interests in Spain generates questions all year — a notice arrives, a tenant asks something, a contract needs renewal. The plan means you have someone to ask before small things become expensive ones.

What is not included in the plans?

Litigation, notary and registry acts, court agents and experts, taxes and complex projects that exceed the plan’s capacity. Each plan states its inclusions and exclusions in writing, and you receive a warning before the monthly capacity runs out.

Can I cancel the plan?

Yes. The plans are monthly and there is no long-term lock-in; you can cancel for the following month. What we ask is that you use the service properly: capacity is not carried over between months unless expressly agreed.
