Answer

Who is responsible for securing an unfinished property in Mallorca?

Responsibility can be complicated if the original developer has gone insolvent and ownership has shifted elsewhere. In practice, the property owner, a bank, or another rights holder may need to secure the site, while the municipality and police may step in when there is a public safety issue. The exact responsibility depends on the legal status of the building.
