Civil Law

Spanish civil legislation is established under a set of laws and codes, which are applicable at the level of the country’s territory; differences in the legal provisions of civil legislation may appear when referring to the country’s autonomous regions.

Spanish civil law is a set of laws that address issues related to a person’s rights and obligations, family law, personal property, contractual relations and non-contractual civil liability. Our lawyers in Spain can provide you with detailed information on the legal provisions of civil law.
Spanish civil law is related to the private law of the country and to the provisions of private international law, but also to labour and social law. Civil law regulates the relations between the other branches of law and the competence of one branch in relation to another. The main legal provisions of civil law in Spain relate to the following aspects:

  • Persons – the legal definition of a Spanish citizen, the status of foreigners, civil personality and the distinction between natural and legal persons, such as Spanish companies and businesses.
  • Domicile and marriage – the requirements for contracting a marriage in Spain, the rights and duties of the spouses, the nullity of the marriage, its dissolution, the legal effects of separation and divorce.
  • Paternity and filiations, maintenance between relatives – parent-child relationships, parental authority, legal representation of children.
  • Legal age and emancipation and aspects of incapacitation – issues relating to guardianship, legal aid, legal custody and power provisions.
  • Property, ownership, co-ownership and possession – classification of property, right of accession, special properties and acquisition and effects of possession and registration of property.
  • Contracts and companies – the general provisions of Spanish contracts, their validity, effectiveness and nullity, the obligations of the partners and the legal obligations within a contract.
