Inheritance with Property in Spain
We coordinate international inheritance procedures involving Spanish property, including inheritance tax planning.
When does Spanish law apply?
Spanish law applies to all real estate located in Spain, regardless of the nationality of the deceased or the heirs. However, the EU Succession Regulation (650/2012) allows EU citizens to elect the law of their habitual residence.
The Inheritance and Gift Tax (ISD) must also be considered. In Andalucía, there are significant bonifications for direct heirs.
What we manage
- Coordination with Spanish notary
- Obtaining Death Certificate and Last Will certificate
- Sworn translation of documents if needed
- NIE for heirs (if they don't have one)
- ISD calculation and filing
- Inheritance settlement and registration
- Subsequent property sale if desired
