If there is no valid will, a declaration of heirs may be required.<\/p>\n<h2>Accepting or renouncing an inheritance<\/h2>\n<p>Heirs should understand the assets and liabilities before deciding. Renunciation and acceptance with inventory protection are subject to formal requirements and should be considered with individual advice.<\/p>\n<h2>Property, usufruct and bare ownership<\/h2>\n<p>We advise on inherited homes, the surviving spouse\u2019s rights, usufruct, bare ownership, valuation, division and sale. Registration and tax formalities normally need to be completed before a property is transferred.<\/p>\n<h2>Foreign wills and EU succession rules<\/h2>\n<p>A foreign will may be effective in Spain but translations, legalisation and evidence of foreign law may be needed. The applicable succession law must be assessed from the facts and relevant rules.<\/p>\n<h2>Disputes between beneficiaries<\/h2>\n<p>We assist with disagreements about valuation, occupation, administration, distribution and forced-heirship rights. If negotiation fails, we assess the appropriate court procedure.<\/p>\n<h2>Tax and deadlines<\/h2>\n<p>Spanish inheritance involves tax deadlines.
