Legal process in wills
1- First legal consultation
We analyze your personal and financial situation to recommend the most suitable type of will.
2- Elección de ley aplicable
Como extranjero residente, puedes decidir si tu testamento se rige por la ley de tu país o la española. Te explicamos las implicaciones de cada opción.
3- Preparation of documentation
We collect the necessary data: valid ID or passport, personal and family data, information on assets, identification of heirs, legatees and other beneficiaries.
4- Drafting the will
We draft a legally valid will, clear and tailored to your wishes.
5- Sign before a Spanish notary
We will accompany you to sign before a notary in Spain, or we will coordinate the process with a notary's power of attorney if you cannot attend in person.

This facilitates the inheritance process and avoids delays, unnecessary costs, or potential conflicts between heirs.

In the event of death without a will (intestate), Spanish succession law or that of your country of origin will apply, following a legal order of heirs. We handle the entire inheritance process, even if the heirs live abroad.

The Inheritance and Gift Tax varies depending on the autonomous community, the degree of kinship, and the value of the assets. In Andalusia, there are significant discounts for direct heirs. We can help you calculate and optimize it legally.
