English-speaking lawyers for Porreres
Castell.law advises residents, property owners and investors in Porreres, an inland town in the south-centre of Mallorca surrounded by farmland. For foreign clients, the language barrier and an unfamiliar legal system are often the biggest obstacles, and that is exactly where we help.
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 Porreres
- Construction and renovation projects from licence to completion.
- Inheritance and family matters for families with property in Mallorca.
- Buying a finca or village house in Porreres, with legal due diligence before you sign.
- Rustic land and planning: building licences, legalisation of existing constructions and land use.
Buying a rural property in Porreres
Much of the land around Porreres is classified as rustic land (suelo rústico), where building rules are far more restrictive than in urban areas. Before signing anything, we check that the house, pool and any extensions were built with the corresponding licences, that the description in the Land Registry and the Cadastre matches reality, and that there are no planning infringement proceedings open.
We also review access, boundaries, easements, mortgages and outstanding local taxes, so you know exactly what you are buying and can negotiate with full information.
Inheritance and wills for owners in Porreres
When a property in Porreres 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 Porreres 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.
