Overseas Property Law


We bought a property in Spain last year, We had a lot of difficulty finding out about Inheritance Tax, NIE number, etc. I found out about Lawbird through the Internet. I found the Company to be most efficient and courteous with a wealth of knowledge, every question we asked was answered promptly, sometimes by email long after office hours. They arranged our NIE Number promptly. I would highly recommend them to anybody thinking of purchasing property in Spain The rates for their services are very reasonable. .
