Procedure

Enquiries can be made without obligation

The basic steps are : -

• Initial discussions to confirm the scope of the work and agree the fees

• Beneficiaries to apply for NIE numbers (if necessary) and sign a "Poder de Representación" (a Power of Attorney) to enable the lawyers in Spain to act. This may involve a visit to the Spanish consulate or a local Notary.

• Provide requested information (details of beneficiaries, etc) and documents (for example, death certificates)

• Provide documentation, as requested

• When due, make payment to cover the Spanish Inheritance Tax, the Spanish Notary's and the Land Registry fees; and the agreed legal fees.

Timescale

Probate can usually be achieved within three months of the finalisation of all documentation and the payment of costs.

We often find that the timescale is dictated by the processing of applications for NIE numbers.

It is therefore essential that this is started early in the process, but please agree the exact procedure with our team before you start your own application.

Please see the < fees > page for details of when payments are due.
