Last will and testament

If you own property in Spain, we recommend that you have a Spanish will.

It is not mandatory to prepare a Will in Spain, but, the existence of a Spanish Will is a cost effective means of simplifying the handling of your affairs.

Unfortunately if you dont have a Spanish will , no action can be taken in Spain until the probate of your English estate has been finalised. This can take a very long time – irrespective of whether your English Will or affairs are complicated or straightforward.  If you own property, yes. It is a slow and expensive process to get your foreign will recognized in Spain.

For your heirs to get your Spanish property transferred to their names, the process is much simpler if there's a Spanish will.

If there is no Spanish will registered at the Registro de Actos de Ultima Voluntad, then in the worst case, your property will pass to the local and regional government.

There is also the expense of preparing an official translation of the English Will and its legalisation to bear in mind, which together will cost significantly more than preparing a Spanish Will in the first place.

If you need assistance please don't hesitate to call us at the Land and Sea Legal department.
