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.
