Inheriting property in Spain can be a complex process for foreign heirs, especially when they are unfamiliar with Spanish inheritance law and tax deadlines. Without proper guidance, even simple inheritances can become lengthy and costly.
Practical examples:
- A British heir inherits a villa in Jávea but is unaware of the six-month tax deadline.
- Siblings inherit jointly and cannot agree on whether to sell or keep the property.
- A property has outstanding community fees that pass to the heirs.
- The deceased left no Spanish will, causing delays due to foreign documentation.
- The property is inherited but never registered, preventing future sale.
