What is a copia simple?

▪If you have signed the deed at the civil-law notary and walk out the door, you are the proud one
owner of a beautiful home in Spain.
▪The previous owner has handed you the keys and you can enjoy your
new ownership.
▪ You have received a “copia simple” from the notary, this is a copy of the
escritura, the deed of purchase.
▪ The civil-law notary will now report the transfer of ownership to the register so that there too
within two months the property has been registered in your name.
