English-speaking lawyers in Marbella

Marbella is a famous resort on the Costa del Sol, with villas, Puerto Banús and residents from Britain, Scandinavia, the Middle East and beyond. Buyers, owners and businesses here rely heavily on English-speaking lawyers in Marbella.

Property due diligence is the core of the work, and in Marbella it means checking licences, planning status and past irregular construction. Other matters include non resident tax, company structures, rental licences, wills and probate, and disputes with builders. Some clients need defence counsel or help with fraud claims.

Spanish is the language of the courts, and a procurador usually files claims. Papers issued abroad must carry an apostille and come with a sworn translation. Abogados must belong to the Málaga bar, which publishes its register. When a non resident sells, the buyer withholds part of the price for tax, so plan with your lawyer. English-speaking lawyers in Marbella often charge a percentage of the price for conveyancing, so ask for a written quote. English-speaking lawyers in Marbella can also act under a notarised power of attorney. Compare the firms below and contact them directly.
