Supporting the UK Community in Spain

Spain is home to a large and well established UK expat community. When a loved one passes away, probate often involves working through legal procedures across multiple jurisdictions.

We understand the unique challenges this presents, including:

  • Managing UK estates while residing in Spain
  • Coordinating legal requirements between UK and Spanish systems
  • Handling property, bank accounts, and investments across borders
  • Dealing with assets located in Spain as well as the UK

Our dual qualified solicitors enable us to handle both the UK and Spanish elements of an estate, providing a joined up, efficient service that removes unnecessary complexity.

Our International Probate Services

We offer a comprehensive range of probate services, including:

  • Applying for a UK Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration
  • Advising executors and administrators based in Spain
  • Collecting and distributing UK-based assets
  • Liaising with UK banks, HMRC, and other institutions
  • Advising on inheritance tax matters
  • Handling Spanish legal aspects of the estate, including assets situated in Spain
  • Assisting with all necessary formalities in Spain, including those before Spanish Notaries Public and, where appropriate, the Courts

By managing both jurisdictions under one roof, we ensure the process is as straightforward and stress free as possible, keeping you informed throughout.

Contested and Contentious Probate

Disputes can sometimes arise during the probate process, particularly in cross-border estates.

We can assist with:

  • Contested Probate: If there are concerns about whether a will is legally valid, we can advise on challenging or defending its legitimacy.
  • Contentious Probate: Where disputes arise between beneficiaries, executors, or other parties, we provide support to help resolve matters as efficiently as possible.

We approach all sensitive situations with professionalism, discretion and care.

International Probate Solicitors

Probate is the formal legal process used in common law jurisdictions to confirm the validity of a deceased person’s will or, where no will exists, to administer the estate under intestacy laws. It is the first step in estate administration, enabling debts to be settled and assets to be distributed. Through probate, the court verifies the will, appoints the executor, and grants them the legal authority to carry out its terms, while also allowing the will to be contested if necessary. Our team of international UK probate lawyers can provide expert guidance throughout this process.
