Your lawyer in Muro, Mallorca
Looking for an English-speaking lawyer? Castell.law assists clients in Muro, in the north of Mallorca, whose coast on the Bay of Alcúdia includes Platja de Muro and part of the S’Albufera natural park. 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.
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.
How we can help you in Muro
- Urban planning and licences: checking that a property, its extensions and any holiday-rental use comply with planning rules.
- Immigration: NIE, residence permits and visas for people relocating to Mallorca.
- Non-resident taxes: annual obligations for owners who live outside Spain.
- Property purchases and sales: villas, apartments and plots on the coast of Muro, including legal due diligence and contract review.
Buying a home in Muro: the steps
A purchase in Muro 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.
Inheritance and wills for owners in Muro
When a property in Muro 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 Muro on making a Spanish will to make things easier for their heirs.
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.
