First legal steps: documentation and deadlines
To begin the management and processing of inheritances, the first day of work for our lawyers focuses on obtaining essential documentation. The general legal deadline for settling the tax is six months from the date of death. Our law firm handles requesting: Death certificate: Obtained from the Civil Registry.
Certificate of last wills: Key document to confirm whether a will exists and before which notary it was granted. Insurance contract certificate: To verify whether the deceased had life or accident insurance associated with bank accounts or cards.
Inheritances with wills and intestate heirs
The procedural path varies significantly depending on the deceased’s prior planning: If a will exists: We request the authorized copy from the corresponding notary office. We respect the wording of the will and proceed with the opening and reading, always protecting the legitimate portions of direct relatives and the usufruct of the surviving spouse.
If no will exists: We process the notarial act for the declaration of intestate heirs. Our professionals prepare the documentation and necessary witnesses so that the notary can determine who the legal heirs are according to Civil Law.
The Partition Document: inventory, valuation and allocation
The most critical phase of inheritances and successions is the partition. An inheritance lawyer from our team will draft the partition document, the document that governs the distribution of assets. This technical document includes: Inventory: Exhaustive identification of all assets that must be integrated into the hereditary estate (real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, shares) and outstanding debts.
Valuation: Real appraisal of assets to optimize the tax burden. Settlement and Allocation: Exact distribution of the corresponding share to each heir. If there is agreement, we proceed to sign the notarial deeds of acceptance and allocation of inheritance and register the properties in the Property Registry.
Secure your estate by avoiding family disputes and tax errors.
Our team takes administrative control so you don’t have to worry about anything.

Settlement of Inheritance Tax in Andalusia
Receiving assets and rights entails unavoidable tax obligations. Our tax advisory department handles the advice and settlement of inheritance tax and municipal capital gains tax. In the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, the Inheritance and Gift Tax currently has reductions of up to 99% for spouses, descendants and ascendants.
Taking this regulation into account, we apply all current legal reductions so that the cost of inheriting is as low as possible. We also manage inheritances and lifetime gifts to plan the assets of family businesses.
Complex situations: challenge and disinheritance
On countless occasions, mutual agreement between all parties breaks down. As specialists in inheritance law, we take on litigation defense in complex situations: Judicial division of inheritance: If heirs block the partition, we initiate proceedings in court, requesting the appointment of a partition accountant and appraisal experts.
Challenge of wills: We act if the will violates the legitimate portion, if there was coercion or lack of mental capacity of the testator. Disinheritance: We advise on the strict legal requirements to disinherit a legitimate heir or defend someone who has been unjustly excluded.
Renunciation of heirs: If debts exceed assets, we arrange repudiation or acceptance for the benefit of inventory to protect your personal property.
