Lawyers

A will, a home or a family in more than one country raises legal questions most people only find out about when something goes wrong. A cross-border lawyer makes sure your will, property and family arrangements still work after you move. We match you with one vetted firm that understands the legal systems at both ends of your route.

What a lawyer can help with

People usually get in touch when they are about to buy, sell or settle their affairs. Common reasons include:

  • Making a will that is recognised in the UK and in Spain or the UAE
  • Registering a non-Muslim will in the UAE so your wishes are followed
  • Spanish inheritance tax and succession rules
  • Lasting powers of attorney that work in both countries
  • Buying, selling or inheriting property abroad
  • Divorce, custody and family matters across borders

How your introduction works

Tell us about your move in a short form. We read every enquiry ourselves, choose the one specialist best suited to your route and situation, and introduce you by email, usually within one working day. Your first conversation is free and there is no obligation to go further.

Any paid work is agreed directly between you and the specialist. Expat Confidant does not give legal advice itself, and we never pass your details to more than one firm for each service.
