Making a Spanish Will is simple and inexpensive.
Take advantage of your right to make your will under the laws of your country of origin to avoid the "forced heirship" rules of the Spanish Civil Code. Many expats can enjoy "testamentary freedom" which is denied to Spanish nationals, and so ensure that their wishes are respected.

When you are the beneficiary
It can be difficult to know how to accept your inheritance without professional help, especially if you are not in Spain yourself.
Translating documents, apostille, proving your identity and relationship to the deceased, accessing bank accounts and attending the Notary's office...
It can all be straightforward, simple and stress-free with the right lawyer at your side.
Accepting an inheritance
When you are the beneficiary
Accepting an inheritance
If you don't have a NIE, we can apply without your needing to attend the police station.
You will need this to open bank accounts and accept the inheritance.
In Spain the time limit is six months for "probate" to be granted. Avoid fines by contacting a lawyer who can arrange things in time, and at worst apply for an extension to the time limit.
Intestacy - no Will
When you are the beneficiary
Accepting an inheritance
In Spain there is a particular order of beneficiaries set out in law which apply if there is no Will.
In these circumstances it may be possible to get the court to recognise a handwritten will or even a will made in another country.
Whatever the circumstances, we can help you to explore your options and cut through the bureaucracy on your behalf.
Power of attorney
Power of Attorney in Spain or the UK
Granting a power of attorney to your lawyer or trusted friend or relative is a big step.
You need to know exactly what you are doing, which powers it includes and how long for, and also how to revoke the power once it is no longer required.
We will explain all the options available to you and ensure that you are granting the appropriate power to the person you have chosen to carry out your wishes - and only your wishes.
We will liaise with Notaries in the UK, USA or Ireland on your behalf.
