Dissolving a civil partnership

Terminate your civil partnership and distribute the joint assets with full legal certainty.

The civil partnership is governed by the Civil Code rather than by the LSC, and that changes everything: in most cases there is no Commercial Registry entry, the partners are personally liable for the debts, and dissolution can even occur at the will of a single partner when the partnership was formed for an indefinite term. The deed of dissolution sets out the distribution of assets and closes off the partners' joint liability.

✓Deed of dissolution and distribution of assets
✓Review of the partners' personal liability
✓Liquidation of the joint assets
✓Deregistration with the tax authorities and Social Security
✓Valid for civil partnerships with or without a commercial purpose
✓Execution by video call

Frequently asked questions

What documentation do I need to dissolve a civil partnership?−

To process the dissolution deed you will need:

  • Copy of the Civil Partnership formation agreements
  • Copy of the NIF of each of the partnerships
  • Copy of identity document of the interested parties (DNI/NIE)
  • Digital certificate to connect via video call
Is it mandatory to execute a public deed for the dissolution?+

Although the Civil Code does not require a specific form for dissolution, it is highly recommended to formalize it in a public deed to have reliable proof of the agreement, especially if there are real estate assets or the partnership assets are to be distributed.

Can all partners sign via video call?+

Yes, all partners can appear via video call using their digital certificate. This is especially useful when partners reside in different locations.

How long does the complete process take?+

Once all documentation is gathered, the process is usually completed in 5-7 business days: draft preparation (2-3 days), signing via video call, and deed delivery (1-2 days).

What happens to the civil partnership assets upon dissolution?+

The partnership assets must be distributed among the partners according to what was agreed in the formation contract or, failing that, in proportion to their contributions. This distribution can be included in the same dissolution deed.

Is dissolution the same as liquidation?+

Not exactly. Dissolution is the agreement to terminate the partnership. Liquidation is the subsequent process of settling debts and distributing assets. In small civil partnerships, both operations are usually done together in the same deed.

What if a partner refuses to sign the dissolution?+

If there is a legal cause for dissolution (e.g., term expiration), any partner can demand it. If there is no legal cause and it is due to disagreement, you will need to resort to judicial proceedings to resolve the conflict.

Does the civil partnership need to be registered?+

Civil partnerships with a commercial purpose must be registered in the Commercial Registry. Civil partnerships with a civil (non-commercial) purpose are not required to register, although they can do so voluntarily.

Do I need to notify the Tax Authority of the dissolution?+

Yes, it is necessary to file form 036/037 for census deregistration with the Tax Agency and settle the corresponding taxes (Transfer Tax if applicable). The partnership must also be deregistered from Social Security if it had employees.

How much does the civil partnership dissolution deed cost?+

The service cost is from €320, which includes documentation preparation, the video call with the notary, and the issuance of the certified copy of the deed. The final price may vary depending on the complexity of the case.

Can I dissolve the civil partnership if my partner does not want to?+
If it was agreed for an indefinite term, yes: art. 1705 of the Civil Code allows any partner to withdraw, provided it is done in good faith and notice is given to the others. If there is a fixed term or a specific undertaking, a just cause or agreement is required.
Am I liable for the debts after dissolution?+
Partners in a civil partnership are personally liable for the partnership's debts, and dissolution alone does not extinguish that liability toward prior creditors. That is why the correct order is to settle the debts first and distribute the assets afterward.
Is a notarial deed required?+
It is mandatory if real estate was contributed when the partnership was formed (art. 1667 of the Civil Code), and highly advisable in all other cases: without it, the distribution is difficult to enforce against third parties and the tax authorities.
What is the difference from dissolving an S.L.?+
The entire legal framework differs: an S.L. is governed by the LSC, is recorded in the Commercial Registry, and limits liability. A civil partnership is governed by the Civil Code, is not usually registered, and its partners are liable with their own assets.
Do I need to deregister it with the tax authorities?+
Yes, through a tax deregistration filing, along with regularizing the partners' status. This is included in the service.
Do documents signed online have the same validity as those signed in person?+
Exactly the same. Law 11/2023 recognises the full legal validity of notarial documents executed by video call with a qualified electronic signature before a registered notary.
Do I need a digital certificate?+
Yes, to sign electronically you need a digital certificate or an electronic DNI. If you do not have one, we help you obtain it quickly before your appointment, with no additional handling fee.
Can I do it from abroad?+
Yes, the notarial video call works from any country. You only need a stable connection, your valid identity document and a digital certificate.
How much does this service cost?+
The quote includes the official notarial fees set by the Notarial Association plus our handling, fixed before you start and with no hidden costs. Request it with no obligation via WhatsApp or the form.
What if I have questions during the process?+
Our team supports you from start to finish via WhatsApp, phone or email, and the notary answers all your legal questions before signing.
