Inheritance in Spain
Inheritance in Spain
 
Accepting an inheritance in Spain often raises important questions, especially for UK citizens who own property here, whether as residents or non-residents:
 
• Where and how do I accept the inheritance?
• Does the UK inheritance law apply in Spain?
• Do I pay inheritance tax in Spain or back home, and how much?
• Where do I even begin?
 
These are just a few of the many questions our clients ask when navigating the complex Spanish inheritance system.

Considering Gifting Property Instead?
 
In many Spanish regions, donating the bare ownership of your property to your children may be more tax-efficient than inheritance, thanks to generous regional exemptions on donation tax.
 
A donation also avoids the formal court procedure required for accepting an inheritance in Spain, making it a smoother option for some families.

  • Entangled in a thorny case in Spain for the benefit of my parents, and my father ill, the Sirejacob law office was recommended to me. My first contact was on 7 February and was successfully closed on 8 June 2020. I would like to thank Nathalie most sincerely, and not only for the good relations we have had within the framework of this dossier, but also for her professionalism, her understanding of the problem, her skills, her knowledge of Spanish legislation, her availability and responsiveness, and the solutions offered to conclude this dossier within a very short time. My parents and I are very grateful to her.

  • Our parents had pursued their dreams and bought a property in Spain near Malaga. A few years later, however, fate struck and we lost both our parents in a relatively short time. So we inherited their Spanish property together with all the administrative worries that came with it. After a few years of trying to get to grips with it ourselves, we were recommended the Sirejacob Law office. We were assigned a permanent point of contact at the Marbella office, which simplified the communication for us. It was nice working with such a professional team.
