Can anyone shed any light on the above question? We have just sold our property and will shortly be off to Spain, first to rent, and then to buy. We shall be applying for a mortgage, putting our little one in school etc. Does being married make the road smoother? Thanks for your time.

Not especially - if you buy in Spain as a married couple or living together you are both deemed tenants in common i.e. you each own 50% of the property. Think the same applies on social security etc that if you are in long term partnership then deemed to be the same as married couple but you might want to check that one out.

Inheritances: There is not legal usufruct for the widow member of an union fact. Therefore not as protected as a widow of a marriage by Law.
Retirement pensions: the union fact member who goes to retirement cannot ask for higher amounts if the couple is under his/her financial care.
Widow pension: Not existent for widow members of union facts.
The Income Tax declaration can not be done jointly.
The union fact condition is not aplicable in taxes reduction. Just every member individually can obtain the fiscal deduction out of having children.
There is not legal compensatory pension for the financially damaged party in a separation/divorce.
Te broken of union facts is not nationally regulated. Judges wil be doing analogical application of Law in some cases.The use of the commun house after separation/divorce is always to the owner.
Sanitary assistance: Need to prove the financial dependency and the living together for almost a year.

Am I correct in assuming that by "union fact" you mean what we usually term "common-law partners" - that is, an un-married couple?
In the case of an un-married couple jointly owning a property (50/50), what would be the inheritance tax liability for the surviving partner on the 50% share of the property they inherit? And is there any benefit for an un-married couple registering as a "pareja registrada" (is that the correct term?) with their town hall, especially in terms of inheritance tax?
