Does an English Will cover property and assets in Spain?
It is recommended that you have a Spanish Will to deal with your assets in Spain to ensure that matters can be dealt with as quickly and efficiently as possible. An estate can be dealt with under a UK Will, however the process is much more complex and can take much longer to administer. Navarro Simón Lawyers can help in drafting a suitable Spanish Will and assist you with its execution either in the UK or Spain.

Spanish tax and Wills
Spanish Wills and Inheritance Tax are both important considerations if you have Spanish property and/ or investments. It is normally recommended that you draft a Spanish Will to cover assets located in Spain and a foreign Will to cover any assets in other countries. It is important that there are no legal or tax conflicts between the application of the Spanish Will and the international Will.
