Specialized Condominium Dissolution Lawyer in Ibiza
Home > Real Estate Lawyer > Condominium Dissolution
At Rodríguez Tur Abogados, we advise co-owners in Ibiza and the Balearic Islands who wish to end a situation of shared property ownership over real estate. Condominium dissolution allows one or more co-owners to acquire the entire property, or for it to be sold or divided, with a more favorable tax treatment than a conventional purchase and sale.
Condominium Dissolution Lawyer in Ibiza
Co-ownership of a property often arises following an inheritance, a divorce, or a joint acquisition. Article 400 of the Civil Code recognizes each co-owner the right to request the division of the common property at any time. No one is obliged to remain in a condominium situation against their will.
In practice, dissolution raises issues that require specialized advice: property valuation, economic compensation between co-owners, tax implications, and when there is no agreement, the need to resort to judicial proceedings. In Ibiza, where land and property values are high and many properties come from family inheritances with multiple heirs, these situations are especially frequent.
Our team negotiates agreements between co-owners, drafts notarial documentation, and if consensus is not possible, represents you in the judicial proceeding for division of common property.

We manage the entire process, from the initial review of the property’s land registry and cadastral status to the formal dissolution before a notary and its registration at the Land Registry. We analyse each co-owner’s share, any outstanding charges or mortgages, and the tax implications of each dissolution method, tailoring the strategy to the specific circumstances of every case.
Dissolution by Adjudication to One of the Co-Owners
The most common method: one of the co-owners keeps the entire property and financially compensates the rest for the value of their shares. We negotiate the valuation of the property, draft the agreement, and formalize the public deed. This operation is taxed by Documented Legal Acts (between 1% and 1.5% in the Balearic Islands), compared to the 8%-13% Property Transfer Tax that would apply to a purchase and sale.
Dissolution by Sale of the Property to Third Parties
When no co-owner wishes or is able to acquire the shares of the others, the solution is the sale to a third party and the distribution of the price. We coordinate the operation, verify that the distribution respects the participation shares, and advise on Personal Income Tax on the resulting capital gain.
Physical Division of the Property
If the property allows physical division (for example, large-scale rustic land), each co-owner can receive an independent portion equivalent to their share. We verify that the resulting plot meets the minimum surface requirements of the Island Territorial Plan (PTI) and the municipal PGOU, process segregation licenses, and coordinate the cadastral and property registration updates.
Condominium Dissolution in Inheritances
After the acceptance of an inheritance by several heirs, the property remains in a hereditary community regime until the partition is carried out. When one of the heirs wants to keep the property and the others prefer to receive their share in cash, we formalize the dissolution of the condominium within the inheritance partition itself, optimizing taxation and avoiding a double operation.
Condominium Dissolution in Divorces and Relationship Breakdowns
Property acquired jointly during the relationship or marriage creates a co-ownership that must be resolved following the breakup. We advise on the valuation of the property, compensation to the departing co-owner, assumption of the pending mortgage, and formalization of the deed. In divorce proceedings, we coordinate with the family lawyer to integrate the dissolution into the regulatory agreement.
Judicial Proceeding for Division of Common Property
If there is no agreement between co-owners, any of them may exercise the action for division of common property before the courts. The judge appoints an expert for valuation and, if the property is indivisible, orders its sale at public auction. We represent you in the entire judicial proceeding, from the lawsuit to the execution of the judgment, defending that the valuation and sale conditions reflect the real value of the property.
