Hello

You can both share the same lawyer, as long as there isn’t any conflict of interest between you and your father´s ex-partner.

It is quite usual for foreigners living outside Spain, to grant a POA to a solicitor that can represent them in the transaction, but it is not mandatory; you can appear in person at the Notary in Spain.

We recommend you to ask the lawyer to keep you informed of all the steps he takes and that nothing is agreed or signed without your previous consent and authorization.

If you do not trust the lawyer your father´s ex-partner has chosen or you just don´t trust her, you should consider hiring another lawyer for you that is able to work hand in hand with her lawyer.

Regards,
