Frequently asked questions
To complete a property purchase in Spain you will generally need: valid ID (DNI/NIE/Passport), title deed or land registry note, mortgage cancellation certificate if applicable, last IBI (council tax) receipt, community charges certificate and, where required, energy performance certificate. We will advise you on the exact documentation for each transaction.
Yes. Since Law 15/2015 on Voluntary Jurisdiction came into force, mutual-consent divorces and separations with no minor children or children with modified legal capacity can be processed before a notary, without the need for court proceedings. The process is faster and fully legally binding.
A power of attorney is a public document by which one person (the principal) grants another (the agent) the authority to act on their behalf. It may be general — covering all acts — or specific — for particular acts such as selling property, managing an inheritance or representing in litigation. Notarial execution guarantees its authenticity and legal force.
The process involves obtaining the death certificate and the certificate from the General Register of Last Wills, locating the will or, where none exists, processing a declaration of intestate heirs, preparing an inventory and valuation of the estate, and finally executing the deed of acceptance and distribution of the inheritance. We co-ordinate and manage the entire process from our office.
An open notarial will is the safest and most common form in Spain. The notary advises on the most appropriate provisions, verifies the testator's capacity and keeps the original in the protocol. Dying intestate forces heirs to go through a declaration of heirs process, which is considerably more expensive and time-consuming.
It is the notarial public document through which the founding shareholders formally create a company (S.L., S.A., etc.), set out its articles of association and appoint its directors. It is an essential requirement for registration in the Commercial Register and the lawful commencement of business activity.

Documentary heritage
Notaría Uría 20 is the depositary and custodian of the Notarial Protocol of Notary D. Luis Fernández Posada, in accordance with Spanish notarial regulations.
A notarial protocol is the official register in which all public documents authorised by the notary are recorded in chronological order throughout their career. Thanks to this custody, any person with a legitimate interest may request copies or certifications of documents executed before that notary.
If you need to obtain a copy of a deed, will or other public instrument recorded in the Posada Protocol, please contact our office directly, providing proof of legitimate interest.
