Hello, my name is Alberto Valiño
Spanish lawyer and tax adviser (Valencia Bar Association, no. 15042). For almost twenty years I have worked on the taxation of transactions signed before a Spanish notary. My specialty is the tax side of dissolving co-ownership of property in Spain (extinción de condominio), together with inheritances and gifts within the family.
I have studied thousands of co-ownership dissolutions and designed a great many of them. I look at what each person owns and how they acquired it, compare the ways the split can be signed and work out the full cost: transfer tax or stamp duty, municipal capital gains tax and income tax, both now and when the property is sold later.
I wrote Paga menos por tu herencia (Sepín), a book on paying less tax on an inheritance in Spain. I contribute to Lefebvre publications and give seminars for Sepín and SERVIDAR.
I hold a law degree from the Universitat de València, a Master’s in Taxation and Tax Advice from CEF, and the Expert Diploma in Succession Law (7th edition) from the Valencia Bar Association.
I work with notaries all over Spain and the taxes are filed online, so it does not matter where the property is or where you live. I work in English.
Tell me about your case
If you share a property in Spain with family, a partner or other co-owners, or you are dealing with an inheritance or a letter from the Spanish tax office, tell me what you need.
