INTERNATIONAL INHERITANCE

Support with international inheritance matters and drafting of wills

Planning or settling an estate abroad can seem complex. As English-speaking lawyers specialized in international property and inheritance law in Spain, we support our clients every step of the way to protect their assets, facilitate the transfer of their property and secure their heirs' future.

International succession: securing the transfer of assets

When a deceased person owned property in several countries — for example, real estate in Spain and other assets in Belgium — the succession becomes international.
It is then essential to determine which law applies (Belgium law, Spanish law or other) and which authority has jurisdiction.
We advise our clients on the rules of private international law and/or the European Succession Regulation (EU 650/2012) to ensure that the transfer of assets complies with the applicable legislation and the wishes of the deceased.

OUR support in settling an estate

Notre rôle est d’assurer un processus fluide, légalement conforme et humainement apaisé, dans un moment souvent délicat.

We take care of all the necessary steps to settle an estate involving property in Spain:

analysis of the legal and financial situation (nationality, residence, will, heirs),
coordination with Spanish and British solicitors,
obtaining the European Certificate of Succession (only for UE citizens) and NIE for the heirs,
regularization of real estate in the Spanish property register,
calculation and payment of inheritance tax (Impuesto de Sucesiones y Donaciones),
advice on tax optimisation and management of administrative formalities.

Our role is to ensure a smooth, legally compliant and humane process at what is often a difficult time.

Drafting wills in Spain

Preparing a will in accordance with Spanish law is an essential step in protecting your loved ones and avoiding any future complications.

We help our clients draft their wills in Spain, taking into account their nationality, family situation and the location of their assets.

We ensure that the will is clear, recognized by the Spanish authorities and compatible with European and/or non-European legislation.

This approach simplifies inheritance procedures, reduces costs and avoids any conflicts between heirs or legal systems.
