Book Description
Spanish Law for Notaries offers a general overview of the Spanish legal system, concentrating on those areas of the law which often require the involvement of notaries in England and Wales.Looking first at the essential principles of areas such as family, succession, property, contract and company law, the second part of the book then offers a more practical guide, focusing on documentation and specific transactions. This is complemented by a selection of sample notarial acts presented as bilingual appendices.Covering topics as varied as the description of the different systems of matrimonial property, the requirements for the execution of a will, the incorporation and registration of companies, the process to obtain birth certificates and the steps to revoke powers of attorney, the aim of this book is to provide the English or Welsh notary with a reference guide to all those areas and aspects of Spanish law which can be relevant to notarial practice.Since the publication of the first edition, it has become apparent that this book also serves as a valuable reference guide for legal translators working in the Spanish to English language combination, and vice versa, as it offers a useful comparative approach to the analysis of the different areas of the Spanish legal system, discussing the similarities and differences between some Spanish and English legal concepts, discussing some specific terminology and translation issues and including short glossaries at the end of each chapter in addition to the collection of bilingual sample documents included as appendices.

Book Description
A notary is a public official responsible for independently verifying signatures and oaths. Depending on how a document is written, a notarization serves to affirm the identity of a signer and the fact that they personally executed their signature. A notarization, or notarial act, officially documents the identity of a party to a document or transaction and the occasion of the signing that others can rely upon, usually at face value. A notary's authentication is intended to be reliable, to avoid the inconvenience of having to locate a signer to have them personally verify their signature, as well as to document the execution of a document perhaps long after the lifetime of the signer and the notary. An oath is a sworn statement. In most cases a person will swear that a written statement, oral statement, or testimony they are about to give is true. A notary can document that the notary administered an oath to an individual.

Book Description
Recent legislative reforms of law of succession in Spain affecting both the Spanish Civil Code (mainly from 2003) and the six civil laws of the Autonomous Communities (including changes in 2006-2007 in Galician law) give rise to a need to revaluate and reassess some of its central features. This reassessment should, consider not only changes arising from legislative intervention, but also from case law and everyday practice, as these reveal new trends in a number of areas including the legal position of widows and widowers, the rights of unmarried couples when one of them deceases (with very different approaches depending on the Spanish regions), the impact of marital crises on succession, the formal requirements of wills, the validity of inheritance agreements, estate planning, substitutes for testaments, succession of family businesses and enterprises, and the scope of a testator's freedom of disposition and the role of the forced share (on which there is an intense debate).This study explains these developments taking into account those three sources (legislation, case law and practice) and provides both an up-to-date summary of the existing legal framework and some reflections on the future based on recent proposals for further reform suggested by scholars and notaries. Finally, the experience of the Spanish jurisdiction, which comprises seven different laws of succession within one legal system, also allows observations to be made as the role of comparative law in legal development and the possibilities of harmonising law of succession in the European Union.

Book Description
During the nineteenth century, Yucat&án moved effectively from its colonial past into modernity, transforming from a cattle-ranching and subsistence-farming economy to a booming export-oriented agricultural economy. Yucat&án and its economy grew in response to increasing demand from the United States for henequen, the local cordage fiber. This henequen boom has often been seen as another regional and historical example of overdependence on foreign markets and extortionary local elites. In The Making of a Market, Juliette Levy argues instead that local social and economic dynamics are the root of the region&’s development. She shows how credit markets contributed to the boom before banks (and bank crises) existed and how people borrowed before the creation of institutions designed specifically to lend. As the intermediaries in this lending process, notaries became unwitting catalysts of Yucat&án&’s capitalist transformation. By focusing attention on the notaries&’ role in structuring the mortgage market rather than on formal institutions such as banks, this study challenges the easy compartmentalization of local and global relationships and of economic and social relationships.

Book Description
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of the law of contracts in Spain covers every aspect of the subject – definition and classification of contracts, contractual liability, relation to the law of property, good faith, burden of proof, defects, penalty clauses, arbitration clauses, remedies in case of non-performance, damages, power of attorney, and much more. Lawyers who handle transnational contracts will appreciate the explanation of fundamental differences in terminology, application, and procedure from one legal system to another, as well as the international aspects of contract law. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes drafting considerations. An introduction in which contracts are defined and contrasted to torts, quasi-contracts, and property is followed by a discussion of the concepts of ‘consideration’ or ‘cause’ and other underlying principles of the formation of contract. Subsequent chapters cover the doctrines of ‘relative effect’, termination of contract, and remedies for non-performance. The second part of the book, recognizing the need to categorize an agreement as a specific contract in order to determine the rules which apply to it, describes the nature of agency, sale, lease, building contracts, and other types of contract. Facts are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for business and legal professionals alike. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Spain will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative contract law.
