Is your succession organized according to your will?

If you are a foreigner and have acquired property or assets in Spain, it is highly recommended to grant a Last Will in Spain that clearly regulates the succession of your estate. Although it is not mandatory, it is a legally strategic decision that will avoid complications for your heirs.

In our law firm in Jávea, specialized in international inheritance law, we recommend all our European clients – British, German, French, Swiss, Dutch and Belgian among others– to execute a will before a Notary in Spain as soon as they become owners.

Why make a Will in Spain if you already have one in your country?

Many clients ask us:

” Is it necessary to make a Last Will in Spain if I have already one in my home country?”

The answer is that it is not necessary, but highly recommended.

Granting a will in Spain, even if you already have one abroad, offers you key advantages:

  • Avoid complex procedures and unnecessary paperwork for your heirs.

  • It allows a clear and agile succession of assets located in Spain.

  • It gives you legal and personal peace of mind.

  • The cost is not very high.

  • It is compatible with your foreign Will if it is correctly drafted.

Do you live abroad but want to make a Will here?

If you are unable to travel to Spain, you can execute your Will at the nearest Spanish Consulate. We help you draft it correctly and make sure there are no contradictions with your main Will.

In addition, we review the content of the Will granted in your home country to coordinate both documents in accordance with Spanish and international regulations.

What type of Will is the most suitable in Spain?

In Spain there are different types of Wills, but the most common and recommended is the Notarial Open Will.

This Will is:

  • Signed before a Notary in a public deed.

  • Registered afterwards in the Central Registry of Last Wills and Testaments.

  • It allows your relatives to obtain, after your death, a legal certificate of Last Wills, which indicates:

    • How many Wills you have granted in Spain

    • Which one is the last valid Will

    • Which Notary authorized it and when it was signed.

This system provides legal security and guarantees compliance with your will and with the law.
