You no longer live in Spain and want to sell without flying over. Which powers the deed must contain so the Spanish notary accepts it, where to sign and what each route costs (consulate €30.05 versus local notary plus apostille, €150–400), when a fiscal representative is really required, and how you get paid into a foreign account.
