I purchased a villa in Nueva Andalucia three months ago.
My solicitor Michael Davies from Davies Solicitors , send me a power of attorney document in English and Spanish by emai, with instructions.
Basically I printed it out , whent to a notary who witnessed my signature. I then sent it to the legalisation department of the foreign office which is in Milton Keynes together with 27 ponds for the Hague´s Apostille and 6 pounds for them to send it on to the office of my solicitor in Spain.
He concluded the purchase and he handed me all my paperwork last week. It all whent like clocwork.
Michael Davies is English , but he is a Spanish trained Abogado (solicitor), who used to the the honorary british consul in Almeria.
Now that I am living in beautiful Marbella ,retired and divorced I aim to improve my handicap enough to be able to beat my grandson of 12.
