Hello Peebee,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

She must have full ownership of the property to be able to sell it, that is, that it must be registered in her name, and that can only be done through an inheritance process which you do not mention if it has taken place.

Once confirmed the apartment is in her name, the selling process is quite simple and the aid of a Spanish solicitor will be required to handle the purchase and make sure all the steps are followed as well as the corresponding taxes paid.

We can offer our assistance in this case, either by checking the Estate has been transferred or handling the selling process, so please feel free to email me on patricia at Lawbird.com if you wish to discuss the matter further.

Regards,
