As with the sale and purchase of property, it is possible to carry out all the processing of the inheritance without your presence in Spain, provided that a power of representation is granted (Power of Attorney). Please read our information on Powers of Attorney.

Our office prepares the documentation and the valuations of the assets of the inheritance and ask the Notary for the corresponding deed of inheritance adjudication to be prepared.

A deed is necessary whenever there is a real estate property and it is necessary to change the name of the owners in the Property Registry. In other cases, a private document and the payment of taxes is usually (but not always) sufficient to be able to gain access to the existing balances in current accounts.
