Legal Advice for Foreign Citizens with Assets or Property in Spain

At Tomas Ballestero Lawyers, we specialise in inheritance and wills services for foreign citizens who live in Spain or own property here. With over 30 years of experience, we assist international clients through every stage of the Spanish inheritance process, ensuring legal certainty, tax efficiency and full compliance with Spanish law.

Spanish inheritance law can be complex, especially for foreign nationals, mixed-nationality families or heirs living abroad. Our role is to simplify the process, protect your interests and ensure that your estate is handled according to your wishes.


Our Inheritance and Wills Services in Spain

Drafting Spanish Wills for Foreign Citizens

We prepare Spanish wills adapted to international clients, ensuring they are valid under Spanish law and coordinated with foreign wills when necessary.

Example:
A British property owner in Spain wants to ensure their Spanish property is inherited by their children without conflicts. We draft a Spanish will to avoid delays and legal disputes.


Inheritance Tax Advice in Spain

We provide clear advice on Spanish inheritance tax, helping heirs understand their obligations and benefit from applicable reductions and allowances.

Example:
Heirs living abroad are unsure about inheritance tax deadlines and payments in Spain. We manage the process to avoid penalties and unnecessary tax exposure.


Probate & Estate Administration

We handle the entire probate process, including acceptance of inheritance, identification of heirs, asset valuation and legal formalities before Spanish authorities.

Example:
A foreign family inherits assets in Spain after the death of a relative. We manage the full administration without requiring all heirs to travel to Spain.


Cross-Border Inheritance Cases

We specialise in international inheritance matters, coordinating Spanish inheritance law with foreign jurisdictions when assets or heirs are located abroad.

Example:
A deceased person owned property in Spain and another EU country. We coordinate legal procedures to ensure the inheritance is processed smoothly in both jurisdictions.


Representation of Heirs Living Abroad

If you are an heir and do not live in Spain, we can represent you fully before notaries, tax offices and land registries.

Example:
An heir living in the UK inherits Spanish property. We represent them in Spain, avoiding unnecessary travel and delays.


Power of Attorney for Inheritance Matters

We prepare powers of attorney so heirs abroad can be legally represented in Spain.

Example:
Several heirs living in different countries grant power of attorney to complete the inheritance process efficiently.


Property Transfers & Registration

We assist with the transfer and registration of inherited property in Spain, ensuring correct registration in the Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad).

Example:
Inherited property needs to be registered and later sold. We ensure all documentation is correct from the start.


Inheritance Disputes & Conflict Resolution

If disputes arise between heirs or wills are contested, we provide legal representation to protect your rights.

Example:
A will is challenged by one of the heirs. We represent our client to defend their inheritance rights under Spanish law.
