Tips to Protect Spanish Assets
If a bankrupt
individual or an insolvent company has assets in Spain, now is a good time to
lay a charge on the property and subsequently seek restitution in the UK
because Spanish real estate is increasing in value. Administrators,
liquidators, and bankruptcy trustees for UK companies are all parties we
represent.
Because of our
expertise in this area, it is advisable to act right away in accordance with the
Regulation, even if Spain will continue to have mechanisms for collecting debts
and bringing legal action to Protect
Spanish assets. We have experience directly registering UK
bankruptcies. This typically leads to a settlement being discussed by the
bankrupt or any co-owner.
We have had
success selling abandoned property when the bankrupt or director of an
insolvent company declines to take part in the proceedings. If there is a
co-owner or if the property is inhabited, it could take some time to reclaim
the money. However, the asset has been secured by the bankruptcy trustee or
insolvency professional by placing the charge on it, making it impossible for a
third party to acquire it for profit.
Real estate
sales in Spain require either a notarial deed or a court ruling
Although the
notary must attest that the title is clear, they are not required to check to
see if the vendor is the subject of any UK bankruptcy proceedings. The property
can be sold by the bankrupt without being charged, allowing the trustee to
focus on recovering the money rather than the asset. Today, some real estate
deals fall through because of difficulties like the buyer's inability to get a
mortgage or the buyer's inability to sell the property because of the
pandemic-related economic crisis. Spanish law makes a purchase agreement
subject to a presumption in order to protect parties from taking needless
risks. Only when the stipulation that both parties agreed upon is fulfilled
does this condition have any legal importance. For instance, obtaining the
required legal authorization if one of the sellers is unable to work or being
authorized for a mortgage.
