Expert Wills & Inheritance Services in Spain

Inheritance law in Spain differs significantly from that in the UK. Spanish law enforces “forced heirship”, meaning certain heirs (such as spouses, children, and parents) are legally entitled to part of the estate. In addition, beneficiaries have the right to refuse an inheritance if debts exceed the estate’s value, a common consideration in Spanish probate.

Giambrone & Partners’ expert Spanish inheritance and probate lawyers assist clients with:

Drafting Spanish wills alongside English wills to prevent conflicts between jurisdictions
Cross-border estate administration for Spanish and UK assets
Inheritance tax planning and guidance on regional allowances
Representation before Spanish Notaries and Registries
Support for executors and beneficiaries throughout the probate process
Advice on accepting or renouncing an inheritance and the legal implications

Our team also manages official documentation, translations, NIE applications, and Power of Attorney arrangements to ensure all formalities are handled efficiently, even if you are not based in Spain.

Navigating Probate in Spain and the UK

In Spain:

Assemble the required documents (death certificate, will, property title deeds, bank details, etc.)
Obtain a Número de Identificación de Extranjero (NIE) for all beneficiaries
Search the Central Wills Registry in Madrid to confirm the existence of a will
Arrange for the legalisation and official translation of UK documents where necessary
Execute the Deed of Acceptance before a Spanish Notary
Pay inheritance tax (Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y Donaciones) within six months of death
Transfer assets and register property titles in your name

In the UK:

Obtain the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration
Value and identify all estate assets and liabilities
Pay inheritance tax if applicable
Distribute assets according to the deceased’s will

Cross-border estates often require careful coordination to ensure compliance with both legal systems. Our lawyers manage every aspect of the process, from documentation to tax planning, ensuring a smooth and transparent resolution for beneficiaries.
