Wills and Inheritance in Spain

Wills & Inheritance

Planning your estate is essential to protecting your loved ones and ensuring that your wishes are carried out efficiently. We advise international clients on Spanish wills, cross-border succession matters, and inheritance proceedings under both Spanish law and applicable international regulations.

Whether you own a holiday home or other assets in Spain, we provide clear, practical advice tailored to your personal circumstances.

Reviewing and Preparing Your Will

We review existing wills made in Spain or abroad to ensure they are valid and compatible with your overall estate planning. Where appropriate, we can also prepare a Spanish will to simplify the administration of your Spanish assets and help avoid unnecessary delays and complications for your heirs.

The Inheritance Process

When a family member passes away, we provide complete legal assistance throughout the inheritance process in Spain. We guide beneficiaries through every stage, from obtaining the required certificates and legal documentation to preparing the deed of acceptance of inheritance, liaising with notaries, filing inheritance tax returns, and registering inherited assets.

Our aim is to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible during what is often a difficult time.

  • Spanish wills.
  • Cross-border succession.
  • The inheritance process from start to finish.
  • Inheritance and gift tax planning.

Inheritance and Gift Tax Planning

Our comprehensive service also includes inheritance and gift tax planning for both residents and non-residents. By managing every legal, tax, and administrative aspect on your behalf, we ensure that your inheritance matters are handled efficiently, professionally, and with the personal attention that our international clients expect.
