Licences and renovation projects in Sant Joan
Before renovating a house in Sant Joan, it is important to know which works require a building licence and which can be carried out with a prior communication to the town council. Carrying out works without the correct permit can lead to fines, stop-work orders and problems when selling the property in the future.
Our project management service coordinates the architect, the licence application and the builders, with legal review of every contract along the way.
Inheritance and wills for owners in Sant Joan
When a property in Sant Joan 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 Sant Joan on making a Spanish will to make things easier for their heirs.
Clients in Sant Joan work with a single point of contact: a lead lawyer who coordinates our specialists and explains every document before you sign it, in English, Spanish or German.
