We are specialists in Spanish Wills

If you own a house in another country, you are most strongly advised to write a Will in that country to cover your property there.

This site explores the issues with a Spanish Will covering your property in Spain.

It also explains how a Spanish Will can interact with your English (or other national) Will.

Remember

When thinking about who should receive your assets, it is important that you consider all your possessions, not just individual items in isolation.

A foreign Will is as much part of your estate planning as an English Will, and hence you should integrate your English and foreign Wills.

Your two Wills should be thought through and written at the same time, designed to complement each other.

As in any legal document, make sure you understand the full implications of what you are signing.

An important aspect is that, as a UK citizen, you are usually not obliged to follow normal Spanish succession laws.
Your total assets in Spain and in the UK will be assessed for UK Inheritance Tax.
Some methods used to save Spanish Tax can considerably increase your tax liabilities in your own country.

As a UK national, we strongly recommend you take great care if you are offered a Spanish Will by someone who does not fully understand British estate planning practices.

We are leading Will writing specialists for complementary English and Spanish Wills for clients with property in Spain.

Our Spanish Wills are designed for non-Spanish Nationals.

They are for signing in the presence of a Notary.

We can include clauses that leave everything "to each other, and then to children and grandchildren, etc.".

As standard we include a 30-day survivorship clause for efficient IHT saving.
