05 — Questions

What people ask us before they instruct us

It depends on the action: as a general rule, five years for obligations with no special deadline and one year for non-contractual damage, although many actions have their own, shorter deadlines. It is worth asking early: a formal claim interrupts the limitation period, but not strict cut-off deadlines.

Yes, in certain cases: defects of form, lack of capacity on the part of the testator, duress, deceit or fraud. If the will cuts into your reserved share, you can claim the shortfall or a reduction of what was disposed of. We look at the will and the estate before advising.

By agreement wherever possible: quicker, cheaper and far less wearing. If there is no agreement, we prepare the contested case with the same commitment.

Eviction for non-payment, with a claim for the unpaid rent. Certain prior requirements set by law have to be met first; how long it takes depends on the court and on the tenant's situation, and we give you an estimate at the first consultation.

A written quote, broken down by stage, after the first consultation, which is free. If the judge orders the other side to pay costs, you may recover part of what you have spent, within the limits the law sets; the opposite risk also exists, and we explain it before we start.

More about civil law

What is a civil lawyer?

A civil lawyer is a legal professional specialising in the area of law that governs relations between private individuals. And at Escalera & Tuset we have outstanding professionals in that field.

Our law firm was founded with a very clear intention: to give every one of our clients a service that is genuinely thorough and genuinely specialised. We wanted to have, whatever the client needed, the specific knowledge required to meet that need as well as it can be met. That is why at Escalera & Tuset you will find departments that are expert in each of the branches of Spanish law. Including, of course, civil law. If you are looking for a civil lawyer in Madrid, you are in the right place.

Our civil law firm covers every branch of civil law. The professionals who make up our practice are specialists in the general law of persons, in the law of obligations and contracts, in property rights and in family and succession law. Whichever area your particular needs fall under, we can help you. Our knowledge is at once broad and specialised. That is the only way to give a genuinely efficient service.

Specialists in civil law

A joined-up view, creative solutions and specialisation in civil rights in Spain.

A joined-up view of the different branches of civil law, and of the law in general, lets us see beyond the obvious. That is why the civil lawyers at Escalera & Tuset do not only give our clients qualified advice and guidance. They also come up with creative solutions that very few can reach. It is one of the things we offer. Here, at Escalera & Tuset, there are no off-the-shelf routes and no walls that cannot be got round. All we need is a deep knowledge of the law and enough versatility to apply it well.

But that joined-up view is a tool in the service of our specialist work. As we said above, the driving idea behind Escalera & Tuset is simply to give clients a precise, effective answer to what they need. And to do that we have to be specialists in civil rights in Spain. Do you need a law firm that can deal with what you need on nationality? A firm that can deal with contractual liability? Or with ownership and possession? We are your answer.

An answer with no limits, because our professionals will also solve your problems in every area of civil law there is. From rights connected with mortgage law to inheritance rights, the rules governing marriage, rights between parents and children, rights of use and enjoyment over property and many more besides. The civil law solicitor you need is waiting for you here: at Escalera & Tuset.

At Escalera & Tuset you will find first-rate professionals with extensive experience in civil law.

Appeals against civil judgments, remedies in civil law, civil liability claims, deceit in civil law or co-ownership are only a few of the many matters you can have dealt with at our firm. All of them are well known to, and regularly handled by, every one of our civil law specialists.

What is more, at Escalera & Tuset you will find far more than qualified professionals. Above all you will find people who are committed to what worries you.
