Lawyer in Escorca, Mallorca: English-speaking legal advice
Castell.law provides legal advice in English to people living, buying or investing in Escorca, the mountain municipality of the Serra de Tramuntana that includes the Sanctuary of Lluc and Sa Calobra. Many of them come from abroad and want clear advice in their own language and a single lawyer coordinating the whole matter.
We are based in Palma and travel across Mallorca when a matter requires it; otherwise we meet by video call, phone or WhatsApp, whichever suits you best.

- Renovation and construction projects: coordinating architects, licences and builders.
- Spanish law for private clients: inheritance, contracts and family matters.

Holiday rentals in Escorca
Many buyers in Escorca plan to rent their property to holidaymakers. In the Balearic Islands this activity requires registration in the tourist register, and depending on the type of property and its location it may be limited or not permitted at all, so it cannot be taken for granted when buying.
We check the rental possibilities of a property before you commit, review the contracts with rental managers and advise on the tax obligations of the income obtained, both for residents and for non-residents.
Inheriting a property in Escorca
When a property in Escorca 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 Escorca on making a Spanish will to make things easier for their heirs.
With one lawyer coordinating the matter and a multidisciplinary team behind, you avoid dealing with several advisers at once. Advice is available in English, Spanish and German.
