A will is the act by which a person decides how their assets, rights, and obligations will be distributed after their death.
It is a personal, free, voluntary and revocabledocument that can be changed as many times as desired throughout a person's life.
A notarial will (open before a notary) is the safest and most common way to do so. A notarial will ensures that the document's content complies with the law and that your wishes are clear, avoiding potential conflicts among successors.
Granting an open notarial will is a quick, simple and inexpensive procedure, and can be amended at any time.
An inheritance is the set of assets, rights, and obligations that a person leaves behind upon death and that are transferred to the heirs.
The process of allocating and distributing it is called inheritance adjudication, when there is a will and all the heirs agree to distribute it according to the testator's wishes. If there is no will, a declaration of heirs must be processed beforehand.
The Public Notary intervenes to document the heirs' acceptance of the inheritance and the subsequent allocation of the assets.
The Public Notary advises, drafts, and formalizes the document in accordance with your wishes and current regulations.
When a person dies without a will, the Public Notary legally identifies their legitimate heirs.
The Public Notary drafts the document in which the heirs accept and distribute the assets.
Possibility of notarial intervention as an impartial third party to reach distribution agreements.
Settlement of taxes accrued on the inheritance and subsequent registration of the assets in the Property Registry.
It is not mandatory, but it is very convenient to avoid conflicts and facilitate succession.
The inheritance will be distributed to the heirs designated by law through a process called declaration of heirs.
Yes, the testator can modify or revoke their will at any time and as many times as they want.
Not entirely. In Spain, there are LEGITIMAS,which are portions of the inheritance that must be reserved for certain relatives, usually children or parents (in Catalonia, it's a quarter of the inheritance).
It depends on the complexity of the case, but it's generally completed within a few months.
A notary can help mediate, but if there's no agreement, you'll have to go to court. It's always better to be proactive with a clear and well-drafted will.
