The proof of the spanish nationality and the regional citizenship: difficulties in the determination of the legal matrimonial economic regime

Abstract

The Spanish Civil Registry does not provide any complete evidence of the nationality or of the, regional citizenship except in the specific cases that are dealt in this study. This reality generates a legal uncertainty that affects the determination of the law to apply on many occasions and especially, in the legal matrimonial property regime. This work analyzes the ways of the nationality and the regional citizenship, as well as the difficulties that arise in the determination of the legal matrimonial property regime. In addition, new solutions are proposed, according to the new regulation offered by the LRC.
