I have a business property in Spain which I rent out to a tenant. I am living in Italy. The question I ask is this:

If I wish to sell the business can I have the Spanish lawyer send me the papers to sign or do I need to sign them in person at his office?

I know that several years ago it was possible to have papers sent to me to be signed. But I think the law may have changed and that I may have to sign the papers in person at lawyer's office.

I would be very grateful if someone knows the answer to this. Thank you.

We had to personally attend and sign the papers at the notary .... or appoint a power of attorney to do this for us.

Thanks for giving me a quick reply on this. I had a feeling that is the case now. So the law has changed. Thanks for your info.

It's always been like this as far as I can remember, unless you know how to bung the notary

Thanks for your info "Econ".

Actually you are correct about the law having always been like that. My mistake.

I made enquiries and realised that the property I bought about ten years was done through power of attorney with my brother. No wonder I did not recall having made the trip!
