Law of SpainModule 6
The Civil Code: contracts, remedies, civil liability, property, family and inheritance, with the differences of regional civil law
The **Civil Code of 1889** has **four books**: **persons**, **property and ownership and its modifications**, **the different ways of acquiring ownership** (including succession and contracts) and **obligations and contracts**. It is the **common civil law** of Spain, and **applies as supplementary law** in the regions that have their **own civil law** (Module 3). A foreigner meets the Code when he **signs a contract, rents or buys a home, marries, has children or inherits**. This module explains the main rules and the points where **regional law** or a **foreigner’s position** makes a difference. Recent reforms and **EU regulations** change details, so check the current text.
This course explains the law of Spain, not US law. Rules that look the same elsewhere may be different.

See what is included in the Courses & AI Lab Pass →General education on the law of Spain, using invented people and businesses. It states laws and procedures in simplified form and is not legal advice. The law and its practice change, and every case turns on its facts, the region and the authority concerned. It does not offer legal representation or a legal opinion on any case. Consult a Spanish abogado for any real matter.
