Protect your Family's Future with Pérez Juan Notary: Expert Advice

Marriages

We would be delighted if you could celebrate your wedding in our notary's office in Almoradí, for which we have a large meeting room with coffee service, decorated so that you can remember such a special day with videos and photographs.

Unmarried couples

We will be delighted if you can celebrate your de facto union in our notary's office in Almoradí, for which we have a large meeting room with coffee service, decorated so that you can remember such a special day with videos or photographs.

Separations and divorces

You can sign your separation or divorce by mutual agreement in our notary's office in Almoradí, much faster than through the courts. It is only necessary that your last common address, or one of your current addresses, is in Almoradí or any of the towns in the Orihuela notary district that do not have a notary office (contact us and we will resolve this issue for you). It will also be necessary that you do not have minor children.

If you meet these two requirements, all you have to do is make an appointment with us, and your lawyer will also be present at the signing, who will give us the agreement for you to sign it in the presence of the notary.

The procedure ends with the registration of the deed in the Civil Registry, a procedure that can also be carried out at the notary's office if this is more convenient for you.

Separations of unmarried couples

Just like married couples, unmarried couples can sign their separation in our notary's office in Almoradí. In some cases it is necessary or advisable to draw up a regulatory agreement.

The procedure is completed with the registration of the deed of separation in the Registry of Domestic Partnerships, which we can take care of at our notary's office.

Separation of property (marital contracts)

Wills (normal will and living will)

Fundamentally for two reasons:

  1. The cost of a will, depending on its complexity, is between 50 - 70 euros, but if you die without a will, a declaration of heirs will be more time-consuming and costly.
  2. If you do not have a will, your property will be distributed as the law says, without taking into account your will or your specific needs: for example, you will not be able to protect your spouse or common-law partner (the law leaves widowed spouses a very small share with respect to children).


The main advantage of a will is to "set the record straight" for the heirs, avoiding the possibility of discrepancies between them.

You can appoint heirs, in equal shares and without specifying assets, or dispose of specific assets by means of bequests; appoint executors, appoint a curator (former guardian) for your minor or incapacitated children...you can also, by means of the LIVING WILLdecide aspects such as the cremation of your mortal remains, or the non-extension of your life by artificial and disproportionate means (EUTHANASIA), in the event of an accident or degenerative illness... Consult the notary's office for any doubts you may have.

You must come to the notary's office with your ID card or original identity document. In addition, if the will is partitional (i.e. if you are distributing specific assets to the heirs), you must bring the deeds to these assets.

You do not pay any tax. It will be your heirs, on the day of your death, who will pay inheritance and gift tax. However, today in the Valencian Community this tax has practically disappeared.. Consultation at the notary's office.

Inheritances

It is the document where, after verifying the death of a person, his or her property is distributed among his or her heirs according to what the deceased ordered in his or her will, or in the absence of a will, according to the law.

You must pay inheritance and gift tax (form 650). You must pay the tax within 6 months of the death of the deceased. The tax expires 4 years and 6 months after the death of the deceased. However, In the Valencian Community, inheritance tax has practically disappeared.. Check with the notary's office to find out what allowances you may be entitled to. In addition, if applicable, you will have to pay the "plusvalia" tax.

Waiver of inheritance

This is the deed that serves to avoid being affected by the possible debts that a person you are going to inherit may have after their death.

Intestate Heirs Acts

This is the document where the notary declares who are the heirs of a person who died without making a will. In this case, it is the law that states which persons inherit (usually the closest relatives, in a certain order).

General or Special Power of Attorney

This is the document where a person authorises another person to carry out certain tasks or activities on his or her behalf. It can be a power of attorney to carry out all kinds of activities (buying or selling property, taking out loans, managing bank accounts...), in which case it is a power of attorney. GENERALor it may be a power only for certain tasks, in which case it is a power of attorney. SPECIAL. IN THE LATTER CASE, IN OUR NOTARY'S OFFICE IN ALMORADÍ THE SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY CAN BE SIGNED VIA VIDEO CALL, FROM YOUR PC OR DEVICE, FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

Both types of powers of attorney can be limited for a certain period of time, or for a specific dwelling, or for a specific geographical area.

The power of attorney is only signed at the notary's office by the person who grants the power of attorney (called the POWER OF ATTORNEY). The person who receives the power of attorney (APODERATE) does not sign the power of attorney.

The attorney-in-fact must inform the principal of the use of the power of attorney, and the principal may revoke or cancel the power of attorney at any time and at any notary's office.

Only the DNI (or passport/TIE and NIE) of the principal (original and valid). With regard to the proxy, we will only need their personal details (name and surname, address), including the DNI (or passport/TIE and NIE) number, but only the number, we do not need the original document of the proxy.

European Certificate of Succession

This is the document that certifies who are the heirs of a person who has died with assets in different countries of the European Union. If Spanish law is applicable, the Spanish notary is competent to issue the C.S.E., which has the advantage of being executed not only in Spain, but in any other E.U. country where the deceased had assets, without the need for translation or Apostille.

Disability Power of Attorney

This is a document where one person (POWER OF ATTORNEY) authorises another (ATTORNEY) to carry out any activity or task on his or her behalf, in the event that the principal is unable to act on his or her own due to a disability. This type of power of attorney CANNOT be signed via video call, but must be signed in person.

The power of attorney may be used at two different times (as decided by the principal): either from the moment it is signed, or only from the moment the principal is affected by a disability, to the degree and under the conditions decided by the principal in the power of attorney.

For greater security, this power of attorney is registered at the registry office where the birth of the principal is registered. The notary's office is responsible for this procedure.

Only the DNI (or passport/TIE and NIE) of the principal (original and valid). With regard to the proxy, we will only need their personal details (name and surname, address), including the DNI (or passport/TIE and NIE) number, but only the number, we do not need the original document of the proxy.

Protected assets of the disabled

It is a document where a person (normally a direct relative of a disabled or dependent person) constitutes a separate estate (something similar to a company), contributing real estate or an amount of money, so that the returns from this estate can cover the present and future economic needs of the disabled or dependent person, also allowing the person who contributes these assets to enjoy certain tax benefits on the contribution.

Appointment of Curator (former guardian)

This is the document in which a certain person is appointed (since the reform of 2021, no longer called guardian, but CURATOR) to represent or complement the capacity of another person in a situation of dependency or disability. This can be done by the person themselves, in anticipation that they may be affected by this situation in the future (by means of the AUTO-CURATELA deed), or it can be done by the parents of said person, in their own TESTAMENT. In both cases, the notary's office will communicate the appointment of the guardian to the Civil Registry where the person subject to guardianship is registered.

Support measures for the disabled

It is the document where a person, in a situation or in anticipation of being affected by a disability, establishes a series of support measures to exercise their capacity in conditions of equality with the rest of the citizens. It can also establish the controls it deems necessary. In short, it must be a "tailor-made suit" drawn up by the notary, after one or more personal interviews with the person affected and their closest environment.
