Our more than fifty years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the law make Martinez Lafuente Abogados a firm of reference in inheritance and succession matters.
International inheritance refers to inheritances where the deceased, the heirs, or the assets are in different countries.
Our objective is to avoid conflicts and disputes between heirs, ensuring that each one receives his or her legitimate share according to the law.
We advise clients with assets, investments, or heirs in the United States, offering comprehensive services under U.S. law.
In the event that there is no agreement or that any of the heirs does not want to sign the inheritance, it is necessary to go to court and initiate the judicial partition.
Once we have the will, it is necessary to proceed to the distribution of the inheritance. If there is good will and relationship among the heirs, we proceed to the distribution of the inheritance in a public deed.
Acceptance of an inheritance by a person with a disability is possible, unless it requires support measures by the court
Organic Law 1/2025 has modified the judicial system, promoting mediation to the point of making it a compulsory mechanism before going to court. The aim is to speed up proceedings.
On many occasions the heirs have lost this documentation and do not know how to locate it. The matter becomes much more complicated if one of the heirs resides outside Spain.
In order to execute inheritances, it is necessary to provide death and birth certificates, which are not easy to obtain, as they occurred abroad.
