Legal advice before marriage in Spain
Legal counseling before marriage is key in terms of marriage property as well as in terms of other measures that the couple wishes to agree upon, such as the other’s spouse to a pension.

About what topics can we consult you?
Getting married is not only an emotional commitment, but also a legal one. Many couples are unaware that marriage automatically creates an economic regime that will determine how property and assets are managed during the marriage and divided in case of divorce or inheritance.
Why seek legal advice before marriage?
-
To understand the default matrimonial property regime in Spain.
-
To decide whether to sign a marriage contract or prenuptial agreement.
-
To protect personal or family assets.
-
To avoid future conflicts by setting clear financial rules.
When should you do it?
Ideally before the wedding, so that the chosen property regime is clear from the beginning. However, it is also possible to sign an agreement later, during the marriage.
International couples
In cross-border marriages, you can often choose the law of your nationality or residence to govern the marriage. This is essential when assets are located in different countries, or when one spouse is not Spanish.
