Your Last Will in Spai
Do you have your legal situation in order so your will is always fulfilled?
We always advise our clients from the moment they become owners in Spain to make a will before a notary.
This will help you feel more at ease.
Making a will in Spain is not an obligation.
And it is true that if you have made a will in your home country it will not be necessary or an obligation to do so here. But it is convenient.
Why is it convenient to make a will in Spain, even if you already have one in your home country?
It is logical to think that, if you have already made a will in your home country, why do you need to make a new one in Spain?
Granting a will also in Spain will save your heirs complicated procedures and a lot of paperwork.
In addition, it does not entail an excessively high cost and will give you a lot of peace of mind.
Do you want to make your will in Spain but live abroad?
If you are a foreign person who wants to make a will in Spain, it is advisable to review the will that you have made in your home country.
If you want to supplement it with a Spanish will, you can go to the Spanish Consulate in your city if you cannot travel to Spain and we will help you with the paperwork.
You can decide in life what you want to happen to your inheritance. This is important.
Which will is more convenient?
In Spain there are several types of wills. The most common is the open will. But that doesn’t mean it has to be the best thing for you.
However, from our experience we recommend that once you have decided your wishes you want to be fixed in a will, it is best to grant an open will.
The open will is signed before a notary by means of a public deed whose details are sent to the Central Registry of Last Will and Testament.
This register is very useful because it is where all the wills signed before a notary in Spain are recorded and registered.
Your family members will be able to obtain a legal certificate after your death.
The certificate of last will and testament gives us the following information:
