Contracts, communities, succession and evictions
The contract badly drafted to the neighbor conflicting, of the inheritance without resolving the tenant who fails to pay: the Civil Law regulates the day to day of the people and communities. We worked with the same closeness to you in each issue, no matter how small it may seem.
01
Civil contracts
We draft, review and negotiate all kinds of civil contracts: sales, leases, loans between individuals, contracts, transfers of use and private agreements of any nature. A contract is well written is the best prevention of a future dispute.
When the conflict already exists, we act in breach of contract: claim amounts, termination of the contract, liquidated damages and, if necessary, judicial enforcement of the contract is breached.
✓ Review and drafting of contracts before signing.
✓ Claim for breach of contract.
✓ Resolution of contract and compensation for damage.
02
Civil liability
Claim compensation for any damage a third party has caused, whether by negligence, accident or breach of a duty of care: traffic accidents, falls due to lack of maintenance, damage by works in the neighborhood or neglect that would have generated an economic prejudice or personal.
We also stand for to whom it is claimed, assessing the merits of the claim, the existence of insurance coverage and the true quantification of the damage alleged, avoiding damages are disproportionate.
✓ Claim damages in tort.
✓ Coordination with the insurance company responsible.
✓ Defence against claims unfounded or disproportionate.
03
Communities of owners
We advise owners and presidents of community in their daily functioning: the convocation and holding of meetings, drafting and contesting agreements, claims of unpaid assessed contributions to neighbors delinquent and conflicts of coexistence or use of common elements.
One of the most frequent matters is the claim of community fees unpaid, which we process through the payment procedure when the debt is certified by the secretary-manager, with the approval of the president, which considerably speeds up the collection.
✓ Claim of community fees unpaid.
✓ Challenge, and drafting agreements of the board.
✓ Conflicts of coexistence and use of common elements.
04
Successions and inheritances
We accompany the families in the entire process of succession: acceptance and partition of inheritance, adjudication of property among heirs claim the legitimate and resolution of conflicts between co-heirs when there is no agreement on the deal.
Also we take part in the succession planning in life —wills, donations, and inheritance agreements— in order to reduce the conflict that future heirs and optimize the taxation of the transmission.
✓ Acceptance, partition and allotment of his inheritance.
✓ Claim the legitimate among heirs.
✓ Estate planning: wills and donations.
05
Evictions: the three types and their deadlines in 2026
Not all evictions are created equal. The procedure, prerequisites and deadlines vary depending on the location of the occupant in front of the house.
NON-PAYMENT OF RENT
Eviction arrendaticio
The tenant has a contract in force but has stopped paying the rent or has completed the contract period without evict. It is the way when there was relationship guarantees prior.
Average duration: 3-6 months without opposition.
PRECARIOUS
Eviction by precarious
The occupant resides in the dwelling for tolerance or free transfer and refuses to return it after the request. There are No limits to the allegations that you can raise in its defense.
Average length: 4-6 months without opposition, 6-12 with opposition.
ILLEGAL OCCUPATION
Eviction express (Law 5/2018)
The occupant entered without any title or consent of the owner. Needless to identify the occupants in the lawsuit, the court identifies the notify.
Average duration: 4-10 months depending on opposition.
Novelty rules · Updated July 2026
Conciliation mandatory pre (WHAT 1/2025)
From the April 3, 2025, it is mandatory to prove a prior attempt of conciliation or mediation (an appropriate means of dispute resolution, ADR) before filing an eviction action for nonpayment of rent or for precarious. Without this step, the court did not support the demand. The formula more agile tends to be the Binding Offer Confidential to the tenant or occupant, which only requires to wait a month from its delivery. In contrast, the demand of illegal occupation (art. 250.1.4 th LEC) is exempt from this requirement for urgent.
Purpose of the automatic stay by vulnerability
The Royal Decree-law 2/2026, 3 February, sought to extend until December 31, 2026, the suspension of evictions against tenants vulnerable, excluding already the owners with two or fewer dwellings. However, the Congress of Deputies does not convalidó the standard on February 26, 2026, by which it declined. In practice, this means that, except for the adoption of a new extension, proceedings of forcible entry and release are handled today, according to the procedural rules on ordinary, without the suspension extraordinary by vulnerability that was in force from 2020. It is a matter that has changed several times in the last few years, so it is advisable to check on the status of regulatory accurate at the time of each record.
Typical case
Owner with "inquiokupación"
An owner leases her house with contract rule. The tenant pays normally the first few months, but after you stop paying the rent and, at the same time, refuses to return the keys at the end of the term agreed upon: it is what is popularly known as "inquiokupación", a tenant who becomes the de-facto occupying.
In these cases, the right path is not the eviction express of illegal occupation —because yes there was a valid contract, but the eviction arrendaticio for non-payment and/or expiration of the term of the contract (art. 250.1.1 th LEC), accumulating the claim of the rents due. It is essential to prove the attempts at conciliation prior as to WHAT 1/2025 and, if the tenant does not pay or vacate upon demand, to request the release with default date and time from the application itself.
