Your life in Spain, sorted.
All in One with Paula
Property and Immigration Lawyer in Almería, Spain.
What I Can Help You With
From your first steps to feeling fully settled — I handle the paperwork, so you don’t have to.
Buying, selling, or renting in Spain?
Property paperwork isn’t always as straightforward as it seems. Missing planning permissions, unregistered alterations, and discrepancies in title deeds are more common than many buyers realise. I carry out detailed legal checks to protect your interests and keep your transaction moving smoothly.
When estate agents are working to a tight schedule, I’m often the person they call.
Trusted by clients for my attention to detail.
“We loved that it was Paula who alerted us that the second floor didn’t have planning permission — this hadn’t been picked up when the sellers themselves moved in.”
— Property client, Turre, Almería
Moving to Spain
Whether you’re an EU national exercising your freedom of movement, or a non-EU national working through the visa process — I handle all your immigration requirements.
From registering as an EU resident to applying for a Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, or work permit, the paperwork can be more involved than people expect. I’ll identify the right route for your situation, prepare your application, and be with you at every step — including accompanying you to appointments when you need it.
“One of the things we’ve liked about working with Paula is the way she can ‘sniff out’ a way to do things — rather than a sweeping statement, she takes time to understand the situation and really look at the legal side of things to understand the nuances.”
— NLV Client, Mojacar, Almería
Wills and Inheritance
We come to Spain for the sunshine, the slower pace, and the good life — and the last thing any of us wants to do is think about what happens when we’re gone. But taking the time to put your affairs in order is one of the kindest things you can do for the people you leave behind.
As an expat, your situation is often more complex than most — assets in multiple countries, family spread across borders, and two legal systems that may both apply to your estate. I help clients make a valid Spanish will, understand how inheritance law works here, and ensure your wishes are clearly documented and protected.
“Makes an emotionally hard necessity as easy as it can be.”
