By your side in the moments that matter
We know the importance of each moment; the emotions, uncertainties, and hopes and dreams. We want to support you in your notarial procedures, making complex things simple, listening to you and empathising with your feelings in each situation.
We specialise in making you feel unique.
Contracts and property law
Over the course of our lives, we carry out important actions, such as buying a home, declaring a new-build, lifetime gifting to our children or ending partnerships, among many others.
At JLA Notarios we are experts in property and contract law and buying and selling property. We guide our clients, analysing each particular issue and always considering the tax burden of each transaction.
In addition, some of our notarial services can be performed online, so we can assist you from anywhere in Spain. Contact us to declare a new-build or a commonhold ownership structure online.
Inheritance and wills
The moment of granting a will, making a declaration of heirs or formalising an inheritance are very important moments in people's lives.
At JLA Notarios we offer services related to succession law, both to arrange your succession and to distribute an inheritance, guaranteeing the best advice tailored to your particular needs and the study of the tax implications of each case. At no time do we neglect the human factor, even offering home notary services if necessary.
Mortgage
Taking out a mortgage is one of the biggest moments for anyone. Just think of the fees and interest you may have to pay for much of your life. So it is essential to have a trusted notary to help you understand what you are signing, explaining the tricky legal terms and their future consequences in simple words, to provide transparency and protect our clients.
At JLA Notarios we are aware of the importance of giving complete and understandable information to people about to sign a mortgage, novation or subrogation. We also advise and guide you on your future mortgage cancellation.
Loan agreements and credit facilities
Individuals and companies often need money to fulfil their dreams or projects. This can be obtained by taking out a loan or credit facility with your bank. When you sign, it is essential to understand the details properly to avoid future surprises.
JLA Notarios can be your trusted notary office, giving you accurate advice on loan contracts, providing a very agile and specialised service for processing loan contracts.
Bear in mind that from 9 November 2023, you will be able to sign your loan contracts from anywhere in Spain electronically by videoconference with JLA Notarios, saving you time and money. Do not hesitate to contact us to find out more about the notary office’s services in order to sign a loan contract online or sign a credit facility online.
Companies
Without entrepreneurship there is no future, so it is of vital importance to support our businesspeople and entrepreneurs.
At JLA Notaries we are familiar with companies’ life cycle, which enables us to provide legal assistance for companies in their different stages, whether incorporation, modifications of their articles of association, changes of director, share sales and purchases, capital increases and reductions, dissolution and closure, and everything related to commercial matters.
Powers of attorney
There are moments in life when a person needs to delegate. The law provides a tool for this: powers of attorney. Though a power of attorney, one person allows another person to act on their behalf.
At JLA Notarios we make sure that you understand the significance and risks of delegating or revoking powers of attorney, from a special power of attorney or power of attorney for lawsuits, to general powers of attorney or preventive powers of attorney for cases of incapacity.
We provide an agile service to sign powers of attorney. You can take your copy away immediately, saving you unnecessary trips, and from 9 November 2023 our clients will be able to sign all powers of attorney that are not general or preventive by videoconference through our digital notary office.
Family affairs
A prosperous society is based on the family and its protection. Family Law provides you with the tools to protect your family and its members, so its foundations are solid and its purposes can be achieved.
At JLA Notarios we provide legal advice on marriage or civil partnerships; property aspects of the family through marriage contracts or civil partnership contracts; the moments when the family relationship is ended, in cases such as divorce or separation; and protection of vulnerable people, such as minors or people with modified capacity, through deeds of appointment of guardians or executors or creation of protected assets. We do all of this in a way that makes everyone involved feel equally supported and secure.
Certifications and authentications
It is common knowledge that notaries attest. That important and simple action can guarantee things of vital importance, such as ensuring that the signature on a document is authentic or certifying that a copy of a document matches the original.
At JLA Notarios we will help you to certify a document or notarise a signature in accordance with the law and tailored to your specific needs.
In addition, these notarial procedures can be carried out conveniently through electronic means from 9 November 2023.
Minutes
How many times have you wanted to leave a record of an event, of a statement, of the condition in which an object is found, or notify someone of any matter. To provide a solution to these issues, the Law provides us with notarial records.
At JLA Notarios we adapt to you, reflecting in the record what you require and carrying out the notifications and requests that you demand.
Oath of Nationality
Behind every nationality oath there is a story of overcoming, sacrifice and waiting.
At JLA Notarios we understand what this moment means and offer an empathetic, agile and fast service, advising beyond the oath itself, anticipating the future requirements that the new Spanish citizen will need.
We are your reference Notary to carry out the nationality oath before a Notary in Barcelona.
Hague Apostille
One of the main effects of globalisation is the increase in international acts and transactions, and the exchange not only of information but also of documentation between different States and between individuals. Therefore, procedures that facilitate and speed up this exchange are necessary, as is the case with the Hague Apostille in Barcelona.
Tax and registry procedures
Tax bureaucracy can cause a lot of headaches.
So JLA Notarios offers its clients the possibility of assessing and paying the many different taxes by the executing deeds and carrying out other procedures before the notary. We can also file them with the Land or Companies Registry so you do not have to concern yourself with it and can spend your time on the things that matter. We support you from start to finish.
We make complex things easy

We speak your language to break down the barriers to legal understanding. We have one guiding principle: we want to find the best solution for your needs.
We make legal matters straightforward and effective. Our notarial services are designed for you, with professionalism and ease at every step.

Asbestos certificate in Catalonia: what does Law 8/2026 require?
The Law 8/2026, of 2 July, on the eradication of asbestos introduces, as of 3 October 2026, the asbestos certificate as a new information requirement in the sale and letting of properties situated in Catalonia.
Certificate of Life before a Notary Public
Having the proof of life certified by a Notary is the fastest and legally valid way to prove you are alive to pension authorities, banks and international organisations. If you need this document to continue receiving your pension, you have probably also wondered what the cost of a proof of life before a notary is and how to obtain it. In this guide we explain everything you need to know.
Record of declarations of single status
If you need to prove that you are single before a public or private body (whether to get married, to apply for a visa or to apply for Spanish nationality) it is likely that you will need a "certificate of marital status" or "certificate of singleness". What you may not know is that there is a quicker way, equally valid and legally preferable, to obtain it: making a notarial statement of singleness.
Digital Nomad Visa Salary Requirements in Spain: The Notarial Income Deed
More and more digital nomads are turning to our notary office on Diagonal Avenue in Barcelona to draw up a notarial income deed that meets the digital nomad visa salary requirements in Spain. In doing so, they protect their file against the tightening measures adopted by the UGE-CE (Unit for Large Companies and Strategic Groups).
How to register a property in the Land Registry?
Knowing how to register a property in the Land Registry is essential for those who need to officially prove ownership of a plot of land, house or rural property and avoid future legal, inheritance or registration problems.
Preventive legal certainty in financial operations
Preventive legal certainty is one of the less visible (and most decisive) pillars of the notarial system, especially in financial transactions that can now be completed in a matter of minutes. On 18 June, I had the honour of participating as a speaker at the commemorative event of the 75th anniversary of the Asociación de Intermediarios Financieros (AIF), where I gave the lecture «The security of the public notary in financial transactions». That intervention allowed me to reflect on an issue that I consider increasingly relevant in an environment marked by digitalisation, artificial intelligence and the increase in financial fraud.

Is it possible to sell an inherited house without deeds?
Laura came to our notary office the other day to ask us if it is possible to sell an inherited house without deeds. She inherited from her parents a family home in the Gràcia neighbourhood of Barcelona where her grandparents had lived all their lives. For years no one was too concerned about the documentation of the property because her parents had always assumed that “everything was sorted”.
Power of Attorney for Spanish Nationality
The power of attorney for Spanish nationality is a very useful tool in the processing of the file, especially when the interested party cannot personally manage all the procedures. However, it raises many doubts, especially regarding the oath of nationality: can it be done by power of attorney or is it mandatory to attend in person?
