Coordination with notary and authorities in Spain

When buying property and dealing with other legal matters in Spain, coordination with the notary and authorities is an important part of the process. Shortcomings in handling can lead to delays, documentation errors, or issues in connection with completion.

We help you coordinate the process so that every step is handled correctly and in the right order.

How does the notary process work in Spain?

In property transfers in Spain, the formal transfer is normally carried out through a notarised deed.

The notary’s role is to:

• Verify the parties’ identity and authority
• Ensure the deed meets formal requirements
• Prepare and witness the public deed
• Record the transfer

The notary is not responsible for carrying out a full legal review of the property or the transaction as a whole.

After the notary appointment, the deed normally needs to be registered in the property register to have full effect against third parties.
