FAQs
In Spain, the inheritance law that applies to foreigners depends on their nationality and residence status. EU citizens can choose their national law to govern their inheritance in Spain, but non-EU citizens are subject to Spanish inheritance law for assets located in Spain.
Key documents include the death certificate, wills, and a Certificate of Last Wishes. In cases without a Spanish will, documents like European Certificate of Succession or probate from the country of nationality are needed.
Inheritance tax in Spain varies based on the relationship to the deceased, value of the inheritance, and the beneficiary’s wealth, with regional variations in tax rates and exemptions. Foreign nationals need to understand these to minimize the tax burden.
A foreigner can choose to apply the law of their nationality to their will in Spain. It’s advisable for foreigners with assets in Spain to have a will covering assets in Spanish territory.
If a foreigner dies without a will in Spain, Spanish law will determine the distribution of assets located in Spain. This makes estate planning and having a will crucial for foreigners residing in or owning property in Spain.
