Lawyers
In Nerja

Yes. Most of our clients live abroad, so we handle the entire process remotely through a power of attorney (granted before a Spanish notary, or before a notary or consulate in your home country, with an apostille where required). This applies to a property purchase or sale, an inheritance, or obtaining your NIE. We keep you informed at every stage by email, phone, or WhatsApp, and your presence (or that of an authorised representative) is only required for the few steps Spanish law requires in person. Our office is in Nerja, at Camino de Ronda S/N, CC. El Capistrano Village, Local 3B, 29780 Nerja, Málaga.

We serve clients in Spanish, English, French, German, Swedish, Italian, and Danish, so we can offer clear, barrier-free legal advice to the wide international community across the Costa del Sol. Each client is matched with a lawyer who speaks their language fluently.

We've handled over 350 successful cases for foreign property owners across Nerja, Torrox, Torre del Mar, and the wider eastern Costa del Sol. We're familiar with the situations our international clients face most often — from a first property purchase in Spain to cross-border inheritances — and we adapt our advice to each client's nationality and legal background.

Absolutely, and we strongly recommend it before signing any preliminary contract. We carry out pre-purchase legal due diligence: checking the property's title deed, verifying there are no outstanding charges, mortgages, or debts, confirming urban planning legality, and reviewing the contract before signature. More details on our property purchase page.

Contact us as soon as possible: Spanish law sets a 6-month deadline from the date of death to settle Inheritance Tax (extendable by another 6 months if requested in time). We handle the entire process for you death and last will certificates, accepting the inheritance before a notary, settling taxes, and registering the property in your name even if you live outside Spain. More on our inheritance page.

Yes. A NIE (Foreigner Identification Number) is essential for almost any procedure in Spain, buying a home, opening a bank account, setting up utilities, or inheriting a property and we also handle non-lucrative residence, work, and Golden Visa applications. Full details on our NIE and visas page or on obtaining a NIE in Spain.

Fees depend on the type of procedure and its complexity — a straightforward purchase isn't the same as an inheritance involving several heirs across different countries. We offer detailed and transparent quotes from the start, with no hidden costs, so you have complete clarity about the legal costs associated with your case.

You can contact us by WhatsApp, phone, email (info@lexartissolicitors.com), or through our contact form for an initial consultation and a personalised plan based on your legal needs. Your enquiry will be handled by a lawyer specialising in international clients, and we respond within 24 hours.
