Conciliación civil (civil conciliation) before the LAJ (court clerk, Letrado de la Administración de Justicia)

Conciliación civil (civil conciliation) before the LAJ (court clerk, Letrado de la Administración de Justicia) is filed with Letrado de la Administración de Justicia del Juzgado de Primera Instancia (o Juez de Paz si no hay JPI). With Managora you do it 100% online: you answer a few questions, sign a digital mandato (power of representation) and we draft, sign and file your application for you. Estimated total cost: €129 to €129.

We prepare your papeleta de conciliación (conciliation application) to avoid litigation (arts. 139-148 LJV). It is useful when there is NO document evidencing a liquid debt (so the monitorio, the order for payment procedure, is not available), in damages claims, neighbour disputes, breaches of contract, or as a voluntary step before a divorce. Filing it INTERRUPTS the limitation period (art. 1973 CC). If an agreement (avenencia) is reached, the record has the force of an ENFORCEABLE TITLE (art. 146 LJV). No tasa (official fee) for individuals, and no lawyer or procurador (court representative) is required.
