Spanish Wills and Probate
Property owners should deal with their Spanish assets in an English Will or Codicil or a Spanish Will.
We can advise on which may be the most suitable, depending on the testator's personal circumstances. This helps to avoid complications regarding the particular law that will apply to the succession.
Should the deceased die intestate (ie without a Will), with neither a Spanish nor English Will dealing with his assets in Spain, then Spanish law may be the relevant law and could apply the Spanish compulsory heirs' rules. We can advise you on the best option for your circumstances, drafting suitable Wills and or Codicils.
We can assist in the probate process in Spain and deal with this in conjunction with the administration of the UK and worldwide estate. If there is an English or Spanish Will dealing with the deceased's assets in Spain we will carry out the necessary formalities through the English and Spanish probate registries to allow the Will to be validly accepted in Spain.
An affidavit or certificate of law regarding the English legal system and / or law may be required by the Notario or land registry in Spain and we can prepare such documents where required.
