Legal services for owners' communities in Marbella

Peace of mind, clarity and professional support for your community. Our legal department advises the board, tackles unpaid fees and defends the owners' interests in every dispute.

What we do

Legal support for the president and the owners

We advise the president and the members of the board on applying the Spanish Horizontal Property Law (Ley de Propiedad Horizontal), resolving disputes and defending the owners' interests.

To tackle unpaid fees we use Allcontact, our structured out-of-court and court claims system, which has proved effective with both Spanish and foreign owners.

Because we work within the same firm that manages the property, we know the community's statutes, minutes and history from the very first day.

Unpaid fees

How we recover the community's debts

Unpaid fees are the most common legal problem in a community. With Allcontact, every claim follows a defined protocol:

  1. Out-of-court claim: we notify the owner of the debt, whether they live in Spain or abroad, and give them the opportunity to pay.
  2. General meeting resolution: the meeting approves the statement of the debt and authorises legal action.
  3. Court claim: if the owner still does not pay, we start the procedure provided for in the Horizontal Property Law.
  4. Follow-up: we see the procedure through until the community recovers the debt.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about community legal matters

What can the community do about an owner who does not pay?

The debt is first claimed out of court. If this does not work, the Horizontal Property Law provides a specific fast-track procedure (procedimiento monitorio) to claim it in court with the certificate of the general meeting resolution. With Allcontact we follow the whole process in a structured way.

What if the owner in arrears lives abroad?

Our debt recovery system is designed for both Spanish and foreign owners, which is very common in Marbella, and has proved effective in both cases.

Do you advise the community president?

Yes. We advise the president and the members of the board so that the Horizontal Property Law and the statutes are applied correctly, and to resolve any disputes that arise.
