| WHY MAKE A SPANISH WILL TO REGULATE YOUR SPANISH PROPERTY?
So if you are happy to proceed with a will providing for free disposal of your Spanish property, it may at first sight seem easier if this will was made in the UK. But there are several problems with this. First of all, you can only make a UK will if you are still regarded as officially domiciled in the UK. Domicile is usually very difficult to change, so this should normally not be a problem. But a person who has lived for most of their life in Spain, has severed all ties with the UK, has no assets or income in the UK, has truly made Spain their permanent and only home, and has no plans to return to the UK in old age, is likely to be regarded as domiciled in Spain, and may have a problem in making a valid UK will. But "domicile" is a general law concept, so is not strictly defined, and this is certainly an area which needs specialist legal advice. Second, in order to legalise a UK will for Spain and be able to execute it (to be able to transfer the property ownership, make a new escritura, register the change, and eventually sell it), there are several steps that must be taken: 1. A certified copy of the grant of probate must be legalised by the Spanish Consul in the UK. 2. A Spanish translation of this certified copy must be prepared and validated by the Consul. 3. A Spanish lawyer must be empowered to prepare a list of the assets in Spain, and to execute the will, and pay the inheritance taxes. 4. The Spanish Consul must prepare a certificado de ley (certificate of legal compliance), which confirms that the testator had the legal capacity to make a will; that the will is valid; that the Spanish Law of Obligatory Heirs does not exist in the UK; that the will has been duly proven; and that the trustees named have the legal powers to administer the estate. It declares your will effective to be executed in Spain, and authorises your lawyer to carry this out. It is very simple. If you do not wish to leave to your inheritors the hard work, obtaining all the documents, and passing for all the steps as requirements as mentioned above, you have to make a Spanish Will. A Spanish Will makes easier and rapid the Inheritance process for your assets on Spain to your inheritors!. Please, contact us for more information |
