The importance of making a good will
A cheerful outlook towards reaching agreements can help avoid conflicts between heirs. It is crucial to seek proper legal advice when drafting a last will and testament to prevent emotionally charged situations that may lead to lengthy legal proceedings and painful family disputes.
In case of conflict between heirs
As family lawyers, our role is to mediate and ensure the fulfilment of rights that may be denied due to conflicts between heirs. This includes rights granted by law or by the will itself. It is crucial to ensure that everything is properly arranged.
Financial obligations and waivers of inheritance
An inheritance not only grants rights to heirs but also imposes obligations, particularly tax obligations.
We assist in analysing the inheritance consequences through a comprehensive tax study that clearly explains the tax implications of inheriting in each case. It may be in your best interest to renounce the inheritance.
Differences between territories in inheritance
Although the European Court of Justice (CJEU or TJUE) has ruled that inheritance tax should be harmonised and applied equally to residents and non-residents throughout the territory, it is still not being enforced. As a result, there are significant differences in taxation between residents of different autonomous communities when receiving an inheritance.
We offer guidance on these matters to help you make informed decisions as an heir and avoid any unpleasant tax surprises resulting from a lack of information.
