I am surprised by your comments. The advice I need is how long the Spanish legal system will take to deal with my case, as I have heard there is a backlog of cases.  I do not have a problem with my lawyer, and am advised it is the only way to resolve the matter.

Also, I do not live in Spain. My lawyer is currently on annual leave during August, so cannot ask him the question myself.

 

 

Thread: Rental income stolen

--------------------------------------

02 Aug 2009 12:00 AM:

I jointly own a villa in Spain which I jointly inherited from my parents.  I jointly agreed to let the villa in 2007, however the other party have breached the agreement by collecting payments in cash from the tenants and not passing my half on to me. In other words they have stolen the money and it's a large sum. Recently, I  gave power of attorney to a Spanish lawyer. He wrote to the other party to request documents and the accounts but they refused the letter and have not replied. Effectively, they have tried to make themselves  untraceable, and they don't answer any emails or letters, even when these come from a lawyer. My feeling is that it's theft, because every month my income is stolen.

Can anyone advise me?

Thanks
