Plain English: administrative agent
Definition
Professional practice requires the applicable title and membership in the relevant Colegio. The agreed authorisation and service determine what the gestor will file or track. A gestor is not automatically a lawyer or a specialist in every tax or immigration route, so verify the professional's registration, written scope, fee, and whether your matter needs legal advice.
- Verify the gestor administrativo's Colegio registration and relevant experience.
- Put the filing, representation authority, fee, records, and follow-up responsibility in writing.
- Use a qualified lawyer when the matter requires reserved legal work or legal advice.
Example: before paying, ask whether the service includes only preparing a form or also filing it, tracking the receipt, and answering a later request.
