De Cotta Law is well equipped to navigate the European legislation that permeates through the Spanish legal system and its associated bureaucracy, establishing a clearer pathway for trustees in bankruptcy seeking to recover assets and funds for the benefit of creditors.
Tracing
De Cotta Law understands all the complex aspects to tracing assets and is on hand to help protect against illicit asset disposal. Therefore it is important to act if there is a suspicion of, or knowledge of, assets in Spain. The first step in tracing Spanish assets is to undertake property and company searches in the name of the bankrupt.
Protecting
The best means of protecting assets is by registration of the English Court’s Bankruptcy Order and where property has been located an application can be made to register the Order directly at the Spanish Land Registry. De Cotta Law is expert in this complex area of law.
Recovering Assets
Where the trustee has successfully registered his interest the procedure to sell, dispose of or transfer the relevant asset is normally by execution of a public deed before a Spanish notary, executed by the Spanish lawyers at De Cotta Law.
