A FORMAL PROCESS, HANDLED WITH CARE

One trusted point of contact at a difficult time.

Inheritance in Spain is not automatic. Before property, bank accounts or other Spanish assets can pass to beneficiaries, the succession must be formally completed.

We explain what is required, coordinate the documentation and keep the process moving, giving every heir a clear understanding of what happens next.

ESTABLISHING THE ESTATE

We bring the documents, people and legal requirements together.

Confirming the succession route

We establish whether a Spanish Will exists and assess any foreign Will, probate document or succession rules that may apply to the estate.

Preparing the required documents

We coordinate death certificates, Wills, probate documents, property deeds and details of Spanish assets, including the Apostille and sworn translations required for foreign documents.

Making it manageable from abroad

We help heirs obtain the NIE numbers they need and can act locally through a Power of Attorney, reducing unnecessary travel and delays.

FROM DOCUMENTATION TO TRANSFER

Every formality coordinated, wherever you are.

From the notarial deed to tax, registration and access to financial assets, we guide the estate through each required stage in Spain.

Deed of Inheritance

Once the documentation has been verified, the inheritance is formalised before a Spanish notary through a Deed of Inheritance identifying the heirs and allocating the estate assets.

Inheritance tax

We prepare and manage the relevant Spanish inheritance tax formalities, taking account of the regional rules, allowances and applicable deadlines.

Registration of inherited property

After the deed has been signed and the tax obligations completed, we arrange for inherited property to be registered in the beneficiaries’ names at the Land Registry.

Bank accounts and financial assets

Where Spanish accounts or investments form part of the estate, we coordinate the documentation needed by the bank to release or transfer the funds to the beneficiaries.
