One of the most important things you can do if you are living in Spain as an international resident is to make a Will.

Nobody likes to think about these matters, but having a properly drafted Will is essential. If someone passes away in Spain without a Will, or with a Will that has not been correctly prepared, their loved ones may face complex legal problems that can take years to resolve and involve significant costs.

By contrast, preparing a professionally drafted Will is a simple and affordable step that can save your family considerable time, stress, and expense in the future. It provides peace of mind, knowing that your affairs have been organised properly and that your wishes will be respected.

I have assisted many international residents in Spain with their Wills and succession planning, and it would be my privilege to help you do the same.

Thank you for choosing Spain as your home.

⚠️ Time for the Second Corporate Tax Advance Payment in Spain!

If you own a Spanish company, now is the deadline for submitting the second advance payment of Corporate Income Tax (Impuesto sobre Sociedades).

This is one of the most complex tax filings in Spain. In practice, it is extremely difficult to complete correctly without professional assistance. Most information is only available in Spanish, there are no official English forms, and obtaining clear guidance from the Spanish Tax Agency can be a real challenge.

❗ Missing the deadline or filing incorrectly can lead to significant penalties and unnecessary costs.

✅ I assist business owners and company directors throughout Spain, providing a straightforward and reliable service to ensure everything is submitted correctly and on time.

Many international tenants living in Spain are unaware of a common problem they may face when renting a property: some landlords unfairly refuse to return the security deposit at the end of the tenancy.

My goal in this video is to raise awareness within the international community about this abusive practice. In many cases, keeping a tenant's deposit without legal justification is contrary to Spanish law.

The good news is that Spanish courts are well aware of these situations and, in many cases, they rule in favor of tenants when landlords cannot legally justify withholding the deposit.

As a lawyer, I have successfully represented international tenants in these types of cases throughout Spain, including Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Granada.

If your landlord has unfairly kept your deposit, do not assume there is nothing you can do. You may have strong legal grounds to recover your money.
