UK will

Be warned Brexit now means you should have a separate UK will , so says the only advert I have seen on the subject . It seems logical unless your Spanish will is a ' worldwide ' one but even my lawyer is hazy about this . What are your thoughts and comments ? I wonder why only one company has decided to advertise this .

You need to have a Spanish Will if you own property in Spain. However , you can have the will to co-inside with you UK will.
So basically your uk Will is going to determine what happens with your spanish property. This what we have been told by our solicitor.
Hope that helps

Not at all what we understand . Your Spanish will relates to all your assets in Spain and NOW you must have an English ( or British ) will if you have any assets in the UK , even if only a bank account or a lock up garage . This is due to Brexit . Your English will has no bearing on your Spanish assets .

Hi all,

We are most definitely not scaremongering or trying to ''fleece'' anyone.

We are giving sound advice

The UK is no longer part of the EU, that we know.

Prior to this, when we were part of the EU your Spanish Will could cover your UK assets under the Brussels 4 succession clause.

However, because the UK did not sign up to this, and the UK is no longer part of the EU, if you have UK assets, you will need a UK Will to cover them and a separate Will to cover your Spanish assets.

Now, because Spain DID sign up to the Brussels iv succession clause option, you CAN have this clause put in your Spanish Will to ensure your Spanish assets are governed by either the law of England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland so you can avoid having to leave your Spanish estate under Spanish succession law, however BE CAREFUL - it MUST state the relevant law within the UK you wish your Spanish estate to be governed by i.e. England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. If it says in your Spanish Will ''British'' or ''UK'' law, there is no such thing and your Will is at risk of being dealt with under Spanish succession law because the correct determination has not been used.

Guys, our advice is free at all times and our prices are just 99 euros and this INCLUDES notary fee - we are here to HELP not to fleece you and to ensure that when the time comes, your family do not have to endure lots of legal wrangling instead of inheriting simply as they should.

Our advert on here is on the left hand side and you can call us at any time on 965 023 956 or pop into the EX PAT centre in Dona Pepa and make an appointment to speak with us.
