Drawing a spanish will
Why make a Spanish will?
When you purchase a property in Spain, your main focus is usually on enjoying it—not on what will happen after your death. However, making a Spanish Will is one of the smartest decisions you can make to protect your loved ones and avoid legal complications in the future.
Having a Will in Spain ensures that your estate will be handled smoothly, in accordance with your wishes, and without unnecessary delays or expenses
Do I Need a Spanish Will
If you own property in Spain, making a Spanish Will is highly advisable, even if you already have a Will in your home country. Without a Spanish Will:
-
Your heirs may face delays and high costs due to translations, legalisations (Apostille de la Hague), and UK Foreign Office procedures.
-
Spanish inheritance law might apply by default, potentially overriding your wishes.
-
The probate process becomes longer and more complex

Frequently Asked Questions About Spanish Wills
Is a Spanish Will mandatory?
No, it’s not legally required, but it is highly recommended to avoid legal issues and reduce inheritance costs.
Will a Spanish Will override my Will in the UK?
No, as long as your Wills are correctly drafted, they can coexist and cover different jurisdictions.
Can I name my heirs according to UK law?
Yes. Thanks to the EU Regulation 650/2012, you may choose the law of your nationality to apply to your estate in Spain—if clearly stated in your Will.
