Spanish will: The great advantage of having a will drawn up in Tenerife or Spain is that you can save your loved ones a lot of worries and money by having for example the British law apply to your assets in Tenerife and Spain.

If you do not have a Spanish will, we wil need to revert to your will in your home country, this will need to be legalized and translated into Spanish. So this means extra worries and costs and procedures, that can be avoided by having a will made in Spain.

And even worse, if there is no will at all, we need to file a probate and this takes even longer!

A will made up here in Spain, does not change anything about the inheritance taxes to be paid in Spain. It is a common misconception that this does affect things, it doesn’t! Your heirs wil pay the inheritance taxes in Spain, regardless of the existance of a Spanish will or not.
