Legal advice in Calvià for international clients
Castell.law provides legal advice in English to people living, buying or investing in Calvià, on the south-west coast of Mallorca, which includes Santa Ponsa, Palmanova, Magaluf, Portals Nous and Puerto Portals. Whether you live here all year or spend a few months a year on the island, you will have one lawyer who coordinates everything and keeps you informed.
From our office in Palma we work across Mallorca. Many procedures can be completed remotely through a power of attorney, so you do not always need to be on the island.
What we do for clients in Calvià

- Immigration: NIE, residence permits and visas for people relocating to Mallorca.
- Non-resident taxes: annual obligations for owners who live outside Spain.

Inheritance and wills for owners in Calvià
When a property in Calvià is inherited, the heirs must accept the inheritance before a notary, pay Inheritance and Gift Tax, generally within six months of the death, and register the property in their name. Where the deceased was a foreign national, the EU Succession Regulation (650/2012) determines which country’s law applies to the estate.
We handle the whole process for families in Spain and abroad: certificates, translations, tax returns and registration. We also advise owners in Calvià on making a Spanish will to make things easier for their heirs.
From deposit to deed in Calvià
A purchase in Calvià usually starts with a private deposit contract (contrato de arras), followed by the public deed signed before a notary and its registration in the Land Registry. Before the deposit is paid, we obtain the Land Registry extract, confirm that the seller is the owner and that the property is free of debts and charges, and review its planning status.
We also calculate the taxes and costs of the purchase and, if you live outside Spain, arrange your NIE and a power of attorney so that you do not need to travel for the signing.
Every matter is led by one lawyer who supervises each phase and brings in the firm’s specialists in property, planning, tax, corporate, immigration or criminal law when they are needed. We work in English, Spanish and German.
