Spanish Wills
Do you have a Spanish will for your Spanish assets? If you own Spanish assets then it is highly advisable to have a Spanish will dealing with the distribution of assets upon death.
The benefits of having a Spanish will are:
- It will be quicker and easier to administer the Spanish assets
- It will be cheaper to finalise the Spanish Inheritance
- You can mitigate and or reduce Spanish inheritance tax
- You will leave your Spanish assets to the beneficiaries that you choose
Contact us for our step by step guide to granting your Spanish will. If you would like a Spanish will complete our Spanish will questionnaire online and download your draft Spanish will.
Disputing a Spanish will & Contentious Spanish Inheritances
We have experience in challenging Spanish wills as well as the distribution of a Spanish Estate and can represent heirs, trustees, executors and foreign lawyers in this process.
Dealing with Incapacity
Unfortunately if someone cannot manage their own affairs then an Administrator in Spain needs to be appointed and we can assist with this process. Or if an individual has been appointed with a Lasting Power of Attorney, action can be taken in Spain using this once it has been legalised and translated.
The incapacitated person´s assets should be protected by obtaining a court order that can be registered at the Land Registry. Even if the incapacitated person is not in Spain, but has Spanish assets or interests, a foreign order can be enforced at the Spanish Courts. If you have been appointed as a deputy of a incapacitated person and you wish to sell a property in Spain, we can assist you with all the aspects of the legal process.
