Our Legal Services in Mijas

Residency, Immigration, Visas & NIE

Mijas has one of the largest foreign communities on the Costa del Sol, and residency is what clients here ask us about most. We handle the non-lucrative visa, residency for UK nationals after Brexit, the TIE card, family reunification, renewals and NIE applications — by power of attorney wherever the rules allow, so you avoid the appointment bottleneck.

Property Law & Conveyancing

Before you commit to a home in Mijas, La Cala or Mijas Pueblo, an independent lawyer should check the property for debts, charges, planning compliance and licences — the notary does not do this for you. See our complete guide to buying property in Spain. We run the full conveyancing from reservation contract to registration of the deed.

Tax Advice & Fiscal Representation

Living in or owning property around Mijas creates Spanish tax duties, including annual non-resident tax, rental-income filings and capital gains on a future sale. We act as your fiscal representative and keep your filings correct so a future sale is not delayed by an old liability.

Wills, Inheritance & Probate

If you own assets in Spain you should hold a Spanish will, and your heirs will face Spanish inheritance tax and a probate process with strict deadlines. We draft Spanish wills that sit correctly alongside your home-country will and guide families through cross-border probate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lawyers in Mijas

Can you help me apply for Spanish residency from Mijas?

Yes — residency is the help Mijas clients ask us for most. We handle the non-lucrative visa, residency for UK nationals after Brexit, the TIE card and renewals. Where the rules allow we act by power of attorney, so you avoid the scramble for scarce appointments on the Costa del Sol.

Do you have an English-speaking immigration lawyer for Mijas?

Yes. We work entirely in English and Spanish, and immigration and residency for foreign nationals in the Mijas and Fuengirola area is a core part of what we do. You deal with a qualified Spanish lawyer, not an unregulated adviser.

How do I get an NIE if I am moving to Mijas?

You can apply in person on the Costa del Sol or at a Spanish consulate abroad, but appointments are scarce. We routinely obtain the NIE for clients by power of attorney, so you do not have to travel or queue. See our guide to the NIE for full detail.

Can you handle my Mijas matter remotely, without me flying over?

In most cases yes. With a power of attorney we can obtain your NIE, file residency and tax paperwork, and sign a property deed on your behalf, so you only travel when you choose to.

What does a lawyer in Mijas cost?

We do not publish a fixed price list because every matter differs. After a free initial assessment we give you a clear, fixed quote before any work begins, so you know the cost in advance. We charge flat, agreed fees — never a percentage of your property or estate.
