WILLS
To many people, the thought of making a will at a young age is just being pessimistic, as the concept of death, and the responsibilities it entails are not urgent issues, but this is a very important matter which should be addressed a soon as possible. This is especially important if you have assets in Spain, as the Spanish inheritance law could automatically be applied to your assets in case you have not granted a Spanish will. Remember that even if you only have a bank account in a Spanish bank you need to make a Spanish will so that your inheritors may easily receive the funds deposited in it.

We can help you in making or amending a Spanish will at any time.

INHERITANCES
Many British and Irish owners of Spanish property or bank accounts die without a Spanish will in place which means that their heirs to the Spanish assets or their representative must produce the following to the Spanish authorities all translated into Spanish, notarised and legalised in their country:

	British death certificate
	Will
	Probate

Even if there is a Spanish will in existence, the Spanish authorities will request a translated and legalised copy of the death certificate. We can help you by making sure that you or your representative in Spain present the right documents to the Spanish authorities and thereby avoiding unnecessary delays. We can take care of the whole inheritance process in Spain on your behalf, even representing you though a power for the attorney in case you would not be able to be in Spain during the process.
