Inheritance in 5 Steps
At TRES, we offer a comprehensive inheritance management service, supported by a team of highly trained professionals. We take care of every step necessary to process an inheritance efficiently and smoothly, providing peace of mind in a process that can be very complex.
Our service includes obtaining all the required documentation, preparing the acceptance of the inheritance and its corresponding adjudication. We take care of the declaration and settlement of the inheritance taxes, as well as managing the collection of the funds through the banks.
In addition, we ensure that the inherited property is registered in the relevant Land Registers, guaranteeing that all assets are duly registered in the name of the heirs. Throughout the entire process we coordinate all these steps efficiently, working directly with the notary and the banking institutions to ensure that the process is completed smoothly.
We will make the inheritance process as smooth and simple as possible for you.
Frequent asked Questions
1. What are the first steps to follow if I have inherited a property in Spain?
​
The first step is to obtain the death certificate and the will of the deceased, if there is one. If there is no will, the declaration of heirs must be processed. At TRES, we take care of this entire process, including the verification of the registry of last wills, the commercial and land registry, as well as the coordination with notaries and local authorities. Our aim is to make the process as simple as possible for you, avoiding any legal or bureaucratic complications.
​
2. What taxes and expenses do I have to pay when I inherit a property in Spain?
​
In Spain, heirs must pay inheritance and gift tax, the amount of which varies according to several factors, such as the value of the property and the degree of relationship to the deceased. In addition, there are other expenses, such as notary and registry fees. At TRES, we offer a detailed analysis of your tax situation to minimise the tax burden and efficiently manage all the necessary procedures, ensuring compliance with the regulations in force in each Autonomous Community.
​
3. How long does it usually take to fully manage a real estate inheritance?
​
The time may vary depending on the complexity of the case and the speed with which the necessary documents are obtained, in some cases, abroad. However, with the assistance of TRES, the process is usually quicker and more efficient. Our team works to reduce waiting times and resolve any issues that may arise, keeping you informed at every stage. Generally, a simple inheritance can be handled within 3 to 6 months.
​
4. What happens if there are debts or charges associated with the inherited property?
​
If the property has debts or charges, such as unpaid mortgages or liens, it is essential to identify them before accepting the inheritance. At TRES, we carry out an exhaustive study of the legal situation of the property, advising you on the best options to protect your interests. We help you decide whether to accept or reject the inheritance and, in the event of acceptance, we negotiate with creditors and manage the lifting of liens, guaranteeing a solution that adapts to your needs.
