Estate planning
If you own property in Spain, a Spanish will is one of the simplest things you can do to protect your family and spare them complications later.
Book a free consultationWhy a Spanish will
Owning a home or assets in Spain without a Spanish will can leave your loved ones facing a slower, costlier and more stressful inheritance process — translating documents, dealing with foreign probate and untangling conflicting rules at the worst possible time.
A properly drafted Spanish will, registered with the Spanish authorities, makes your wishes clear, speeds up the inheritance and works alongside the will from your home country rather than against it. We make sure both fit together.

The benefits
Our process
We discuss your assets in Spain, your family situation and your wishes, and explain how Spanish succession works.
We draft a clear, bilingual will tailored to your wishes and coordinated with your home-country planning.
You sign the will before a Spanish notary, with us guiding you through every clause in plain English.
The will is registered in the central register of last wills, so it can always be located when needed.
Good to know
It is strongly recommended. A Spanish will dealing specifically with your Spanish assets avoids the delay and cost of having your home-country will recognised in Spain, and reduces the risk of conflict between the two.
It should not, when drafted correctly. We limit the Spanish will to your Spanish assets and make sure it is consistent with your existing will, so the two complement each other.
Under the EU succession regulation many nationals can elect for the law of their nationality to govern their succession. We advise whether this applies to you and include the election in your will where appropriate.
Once we have your details, a straightforward Spanish will can usually be drafted and signed within a short time. We handle the notary appointment and the registration for you.
