Notary Luis Alberto Álvarez Moreno
Get to know me
After obtaining a Law Degree from Universidad Villanueva and passing the notary exams at the Academia Matritense del Notariado, I was appointed Notary in 2018.
I worked as a Principal Notary in Cadaqués and as a Substitute Notary in Castelló d'Empúries. Later, I moved to Barcelona in search of new professional challenges. I began my career as a Notary at JLA Notarios, together with my partner the Notary Juan Madridejos Velasco in 2020.
My specialities are Property Law, Succession Law and Tax Treatment.
At JLA we offer you these services and many more. Some of them can be found online as well as in person:
Like Juan, I am a preparer for Notary public examinations at the Academia Matritense del Notario. On a personal level, I am an enthusiast of new technologies and their application within the legal world, but also of design, automotive, and the study of medieval history.

Advantages in Purchase and Rehabilitation of Rural Housing in Catalonia
Today we explain Law 8/2025 of the Statute of Rural Municipalities and its corresponding tax developments in the purchase and sale of properties in Catalonia.
Housing Purchase Assistance in Catalonia
Accessing home ownership remains one of the main challenges for young people in Catalonia. Aware of this, the Institut Català de Finances (ICF) has reissued one of the main housing purchase aids in Catalonia: the "Préstec ICF Habitatge Emancipació" programme.
Tax Reform in Catalonia 2025
The Government of the Generalitat has approved, through the Decree Law 5/2025, of 25 March, a new tax reform in Catalonia in 2025, with the declared objective of establishing a more progressive taxation system, benefiting taxpayers with lower incomes, young people, and vulnerable groups. This decree also includes modifications to the sixth book of the Tax Code of Catalonia.
New obligations for the Large Holder in Catalonia
The Decree-law 2/2025, of 25 February, on urgent measures in housing and urban planning in Catalonia, introduces significant modifications in the regulation of large landlords in Catalonia, the real estate market, and urban planning.
I want to buy a house or another property: What do I have to pay?
One of the most important elements of any sale and, in general, of any legal transaction, is the real cost of the operation. To know how much you have to pay when buying a house or other property, we must not only consider the price, which is relevant, but also the taxation. The payment of taxes is a matter that frequently arises in notarial offices. Therefore, we find it necessary to write a few lines about the payments that must be made when acquiring a property.
What taxes are applied on donations from parents to children?
In the previous post, we have seen the most frequently asked questions about donations from parents to children, but one of the most thorny issues is the tax matter. This issue raises certain doubts and is, from our experience, the turning point for whether or not to make a donation to a child. Therefore, in this article we want to give a brief overview of the taxes that must be paid if it is decided to make a donation in favour of a child, focusing on Catalan taxation.
