Expert Spanish Wills, Probate &
Inheritance Services
Spanish inheritance law in Spain differs significantly from the UK. Spanish law enforces forced heirship, meaning certain heirs, such as spouses, children, and parents, are legally entitled to part of the estate. Beneficiaries may also refuse an inheritance if debts exceed the estate’s value, which is an important consideration for inheritance tax in Spain and inheritance tax in Spain for non-residents.
Our experienced Spanish probate lawyers assist clients with:
- Drafting Spanish wills alongside English wills to prevent jurisdictional conflicts
- Cross-border estate administration for Spanish and UK assets
- Planning for inheritance tax Spain and other regional allowances
- Representation before Spanish Notaries and Registries
- Guidance for executors and beneficiaries throughout the probate process
- Advice on accepting or renouncing an inheritance and the legal implications
- Managing official documentation, translations, NIE applications, and Power of Attorney arrangements
Navigating Probate in Spain and the UK
In Spain:
- Gather essential documents (death certificate, will, property deeds, bank details)
- Obtain a Número de Identificación de Extranjero (NIE) for all beneficiaries
- Search the Central Wills Registry in Madrid
- Legalise and translate UK documents if necessary
- Execute the Deed of Acceptance before a Spanish Notary
- Pay death duties in Spain and transfer assets or property titles
In the UK:
- Obtain the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration
- Value estate assets and liabilities
- Pay applicable inheritance taxes
- Distribute assets according to the deceased’s will
Our team ensures smooth coordination for cross-border estates, guaranteeing compliance with both legal systems.
