Inheritance

In matters of Inheritance, Puyol Asesores y Abogados has been consolidated with a broad experience in Comprehensive Management of Probate proceedings, in which we have specialised in the provision of advice on inheritance planning, transmissions or donations of family estate as well as business succession planning.

We consider that the creation of Family Protocols destined to a Programmed Patrimony Succession turns out to have a distribution of the Family Heritage, thus preserving the assurance and growing of the legacy for future generations.

From our office, we will guide and advice you on how to carry out an organized sucession for your testament to be valid and exempt from problems for your heirs, and adapted to your will.

Apart from planning, we manage your inheritance in a complete way. If you have been designated heir, forced heir or legatee, our office can handle all the processing for you to become the owner of the hereditary right, including Tax on Inheritances and Gifts and paperwork aiming the inscription of the inherited real state in the Property Registration Office. In the case a close relative of yours had deceased without leaving a will, our lawyers will be in charge of carrying out all the necessary actions for the designation of an heir (Declaration of heirs ab intestato).

In case of discrepancies with other coheirs regarding the distribution or valuation of the real state, we try to intercede with them in order to reach an amicable settlement and, if this is not possible, we will address to obtain all the legal statements required to fulfill the decedent’s will.
