Why should I make a Spanish will?

    You should make a Spanish will to distribute your assets to avoid time-consuming legal problems for your heirs.

Spain has strict rules applyed to inheritance. Even if you have a will in your home country, it is also wise to make a Spanish will that distributes of your property here. Spanish succession law is quite complicated and may differ greatly from what you are used to at home.

    The Spanish law regarding wills is designed primarily to protect heirs within the family. A number of restrictions are therefore placed on the testator’s freedom to dispose of his estate as he wishes. If a foreign resident dies intestate his property will be distributed according to Spanish succession law. (For further information, please see our Conveyancing Guide ).
