Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I register inherited property in Moraira?

Inherited property in Moraira is registered at the Registro de la Propiedad de Dénia, which covers the entire Marina Alta district including the Teulada-Moraira municipality.

Can I handle the inheritance from abroad?

Yes. With a Power of Attorney, your lawyer can handle the entire inheritance process on your behalf without you needing to travel to Spain. This includes tax filing, signing the deed of inheritance, and property registration.

What if the deceased had a will in their home country but not in Spain?

A foreign will can be used for Spanish inheritance proceedings, but it must be legalised (apostilled) and translated by a sworn translator. This adds time and cost. We strongly recommend that expats owning property in Moraira make a separate Spanish will covering their Spanish assets.

Do all heirs need to agree to accept the inheritance?

Yes. All heirs must agree on the partition and sign the deed of acceptance before a notary. If heirs cannot agree, judicial proceedings may be necessary. Individual heirs can choose to renounce their share if they wish.
