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.

Mihai Barsan2025-03-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently worked with Alfonso Soler during the purchase of my apartment, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the very beginning, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise and attention to details. Is “Clear as water” (as he likes to say) that he is devoted and involved in everything he does. Alfonso walked me through every step of the process, ensuring I understood all the legal terms and documents. His communication was prompt, clear, and thorough, which made me feel confident and informed throughout the entire transaction. What really stood out was Alfonso Soler ability to anticipate potential issues before they became problems, making the whole process much smoother. He was always available to answer any questions I had, and his guidance helped me make informed decisions every step of the way. Everything started as hiring a lawyer,how it ended for me? Owner of the apartment and having a good friend ! I highly recommend Alfonso Soler to anyone seeking legal assistance in property transactions! Mihai David D2025-03-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ni se te ocurra entrar la oficina, da igual si la puerta está abierta a la calle. Mejor llamar primero antes de entrar de la calle. Aunque haya carteles de varias propiedades en la ventana en venta, cuando entre la puerta abierta a la calle a preguntar sobre uno de los pisos publicados, el que estaba ahí me pregunto al entrar, "¿quíen es usted?" y "¿de dónde vino?" Cuando le dije que había un piso en los carteles que me interesaba, me intento convencer sin detalles concretas que no vale la pena porque el propietario de ese piso tiene unos requisitos extraños y pocos fiables. Trato 0% profesional y, por las demás reseñas, parece que tiene suficiente negocio con ell@s, y no quiere que nuev@s clientes le lleguen. Igual tendrás otra experiencia llamando o hablando en inglés u otro idioma, pero recomiendo evitar a todo coste si buscas piso por la zona. David Michael2025-01-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Alfonso Soler since 2021, we initially met after I googled COSTA BLANCA REAL ESTATE and started making calls. I was struck by the idea to purchase a property in Spain; As an American living in San Diego (visiting for the first time) From the onset I found him insightful and honest, we got to work immediately - Alfonso was the right person to guide me through my questions, His understanding of how to execute and close deals in Spain is top notch. I viewed dozens of properties over the following week, Alfonso’s knowledge of the region was helpful in finding a property that matched my needs. After closing the first (6 months later)Alfonso had identified another opportunity to acquire a renovation project which was next on the list and we closed it - Looking forward to a long relationship and more deals in Altea with Alfonso - High Quality Business @ CFL!!
