SPANISH WILLS
To many people, the thought of making a will at a young age is just being pessimistic, as the concept of death, and the responsibilities it entails are not urgent issues.
However, this is a very important matter which should be addressed a soon as possible.
It is is especially important if you have assets in Spain, as the Spanish inheritance law could automatically be applied to your property and assets if you have not created a Spanish will.
Remember that even if you only have a bank account in a Spanish bank you need to make a Spanish will so that your inheritors may easily receive the funds deposited in it.
Many ex-patriate owners of Spanish property or bank accounts die without a Spanish will in place which means that their heirs to the Spanish assets or their representative must produce correct overseas probate documentation to the Spanish authorities with all of it translated into Spanish, notarised and legalised in their own country.
If you do have assets in Spain ... GET A WILL !!
