Succession Law varies considerably from one country to another. New E.U. legislation known as Brussels IV / ruling EU 650/2012 gave expatriates in Spain something very important... the right to choose. The choice to make a will using the Law of their own Nationality. 

For those who die intestate in Spain there is no choice and the inheritance will be governed by the Spanish law of succession which favours immediate heirs or next of kin, not spouses, partners or friends.

Making a Will and arranging a Funeral Plan in Spain really matters!

Do you know how many Wills are contested each year? More than perhaps you realise. Most of these are badly written with loophole's allowing for example someone who was strictly excluded from inheriting - to be able to contest the Will.

Recently in the Supreme Court the legal principle of Testamentary Freedom was upheld which is good news. This was largely due to the Will Writer and other witnesses having solid evidence of the deceased mental capacity at the time of writing the Will.

This case demonstrated the need for a process that can be tracked and used as evidence in a court of Law. Another good reason to invest in the services of a professional Will Writer.

By choosing the Law of your nationality it is  important to know about any cases that may implicate your legacy in the future.

Unless you have a Will, when you die your estate will pass under the Rules of Intestacy. This could mean your legal spouse will only inherit up to 50% of your estate. The rest distributed between children or close relatives.

Without a Will in place, if you are not married but you are living with someone, they will not inherit anything under Spanish Law.

A Spanish Will only covers your estate in Spain. If you have property, savings etc in another country you will need a separate Will.

To be clear - a Spanish Will is valid for Spanish assets!

It is recommended to make a new Will as your life changes such as getting married or divorced, buying a property or having children. 

Making a Will is your opportunity to ensure that your estate passes to those whom you want to benefit and not those you don't!
