Wills are documents in which a person orders the distribution of their assets and rights after their death. There may also be personal content to, for example, protect minor children or a spouse.

In Spain, depending on the applicable legislation, there are legitimate limitations that restrict the testator's wishes; the most important, although not the only ones, are in favor of the testator's descendants. The law that determines the existence of such limitations is the one corresponding to the testator (nationality or civil residence) at the time of death. If you are not of Spanish nationality, it is emphasized that it is advisable to make a will if you have assets in Spain.

Required Documentation:

  • Testator's D.N.I. (National Identity Document).

  • Personal details including: marital status, place and date of birth, names of parents and whether they are alive or not, name of spouse, if applicable, and details of the heirs.
