Inheriting in Spain
Spanish inheritance laws can be complicated and daunting. The process of inheriting assets in Spain can be doubly difficult if the deceased died without leaving a will, as it begs the question “what inheritance law will apply?” Whether the deceased left a will, or left no will at all, we set out below how we can help.
Instructing an independent Spanish lawyer and obtaining independent legal advice is important in order to realise any interest that you may have. We will consider everything from locating any wills made, to the inheritance law that is applied to the estate, to the liability to inheritance tax in Spain, amongst many other considerations. Our aim is to ensure minimal stress to you throughout the process of administering a Spanish estate.

Testimonials

I wanted to make sure everything was done properly and my interests protected. E&G Solicitors in Spain handled everything once I decided on the property. Communication was very good and very prompt, in person, by email and over the phone. I think the service was beyond expectations, even following up on my case over a year after the purchase to ensure everything was in order. 13/10/2016
