You should go the real estate property registry. (Registro de la Propiedad). And there you can check who the owner is. It does entail registry fees but not too high.

Your believe that the winning party in any Spanish court case would always have the costs paid by the losing party is incorrect.  The Court decision can  mandate that the losing party pay the costs of the winning party but then again it may not do so.  You must check the Court decision to see whether the losing party was condemned to pay your legal costs.

If this was the case, your lawyer must submit their invoice to the Court who will collect the fees from the losing party.

Otherwise, each party gets to pay their own costs.  If you are in this situation your lawyer has to itemize for you the other costs in addition to the pure "legal fees".  These could include the costs of the procurador, the fees of experts appointed by you in the case, the Court fees.  Your lawyer should itemize them for you so that you are aware of exactly what costs are being deducted from your winnings.

A proxyholder is supposed to vote the way the proxygiver instructs him.  However, if there are no specific instructions, then the proxyholder can vote in the way he freely decides.    Accordingly, it could happen that the same proxyholder votes in one way in representation of a proxygiver that has instructed him how the vote should be given and in another way for a proxygiver that has not issued specific instructions.  Both votes would be vakid,

Antonio1, Section 17, paragraph 1 of the Horizontal Property Law states the following:

"The establishment or elimination of the lift, janitor and security services, or other common services or facilities of general interest, even where they involve the modification of the master deed or the community statutes shall require the favourable vote of three fifths of the total number of unit owners representing three fifths of the assessment quotas."

This is the qualified majority of votes required to pass the resolution you are referring to.

GuyT, that is oK for inheritance tax since there will be no transfer of assets upon death of the grantor.

 However, as I said much earlier, the imputed tax is levied on all real estate property that is used by the owners, so having a wife or family member living in one and the husband or family member living in the other one does NOT avoid the imputed income being added to the tax base of the owner.  This applied to both residents and non-residents and to all property used by the owners, primary residence, holiday residence or any other residence available for owner use whether it is used or not.

The strategy mentioned by Kavanagh does not work.

The only possibility might be by signing a rental contract with a family member, but there needs to be proof that the family member is paying actual rent at market price.  If the family member is the wife, even this does not work if like, most couples, the tax is paid by the family unit, because there are tax advantages iin doing so, although not for the imputed part of the income.
