In Spain, this distribution or allocation of assets of the deceased person’s estate can be formalised in front of a notary, when all heirs agree, or before a judge in case of discrepancies on three matters: which assets make up the estate, their worth, and how they should be distributed. In some cases, doubts may arise regarding the heirs or the testament’s validity.
Even if the estate is distributed before a notary, it is convenient to receive counsel from a lawyer. A legal expert may even be able to help you mediate among the heirs in case they disagree on certain matters.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][mk_button_gradient dimension=”flat” size=”large” corner_style=”rounded” grandient_color_from=”#45b7d4″ grandient_color_to=”#45b7d4″ url=”https://patonyasociados.com/en/contact/” align=”center” el_class=”max400″]IN NEED OF A LAWYER WHO SPECIALISES IN INHERITANCE LAW?[/mk_button_gradient][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider][mk_custom_box background_hov_color_style=”image” elevation_effect=”true”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mk_image src=”https://patonyasociados.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/p6-1.png” image_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][mk_fancy_title size=”18″ font_family=”Ubuntu” font_type=”google”]WHAT TO DO IF…[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1569439590364{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The first thing to do when a person passes is to obtain a death certificate from the Civil Registry; with that in hand, it is possible to obtain a Last Will and Testament Certificate to know the last written will of the deceased.
With this information, we can now head to the notary to obtain a copy of the testament and know the deceased’s last will. If there is no will, a Declaration of Heirs needs to be made, which can also be done before the notary.
Finally, it is important to remember to pay the inheritance tax, for which there is a 6 month period which can be extended for a further 6 months. This extension must be requested in the first 5 months after the death.[/vc_column_text][/mk_custom_box][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider][mk_custom_box elevation_effect=”true”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mk_image src=”https://patonyasociados.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/p7.png” image_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][mk_fancy_title size=”18″ font_family=”Ubuntu” font_type=”google”]INHERITANCE EXAMPLES
