Moldovan Lawyer for Clients in Spain

The starting point is simple: Attorney Bîrcă Ludmila assists people from around the world who need representation or advice connected to the Republic of Moldova. The Moldovan community in Spain is large and its needs often overlap, which is why we use them here as examples. That does not mean we serve only Moldovan citizens or only people settled in Spain.

With 15 years in practice, a Master of Laws from USM, and an earlier role (2006-2011) as a state specialist in consumer protection, every file is handled with attention to detail and to its practical consequences. We work in Romanian, Russian and English, so you can speak in the language you find most comfortable.

Most matters connected to Moldova can be handled without you returning to the country. Common examples for people living in Spain include:

The key first step is usually the power of attorney. You can sign it before a notary in Spain, followed by an apostille (Hague Convention), or free of charge at a consulate of the Republic of Moldova. For CIS states and countries with which Moldova has legal-assistance treaties, a Moldovan power of attorney may be recognised without an apostille; for Spain, the usual route is a notary plus apostille, or the consulate.

We begin from the scans you send us, so we can assess the situation and prepare the documents. Originals can follow later by courier. Consultations take place over WhatsApp, Viber or Zoom in Romanian, Russian or English. We operate on EET time, and meetings are scheduled with the time difference from Spain in mind.

Many clients in Spain need official Moldovan documents to exercise their rights where they live: birth or marriage certificates for pension files, employment-record statements, or papers required by Spanish authorities for benefits. We obtain these from the relevant archives and, where needed, arrange their legalisation and apostille.

Other situations involve a property left in Moldova, an inheritance opened after a parent, or a partition among relatives. In all of these, we can represent you under a power of attorney, with no need for you to appear in person. Each file is reviewed individually, and the steps and costs are explained to you before we begin.

Fees and timelines depend on the complexity of the file, the number of documents involved and the institutions concerned. Any figure mentioned at the outset is indicative; we give you a clear estimate once we have examined your specific situation. The relationship with the client is confidential, and all communication follows the rules of the legal profession.

We do not promise outcomes and we do not compare ourselves with other colleagues. What we offer is an honest assessment of your options, the risks and the steps ahead, so that you can decide with full information.
