We handle the whole Spanish inheritance for you — certificates, tax, notary and Land Registry — so your family does not have to.
Calahonda has a large community of retired British and Irish owners, many of whom bought decades ago. When they pass away, their children — usually living in the UK or Ireland — need someone in Spain they can trust to deal with the property.
As your inheritance lawyer in Calahonda, Dolores Perujo handles the full Spanish inheritance from our office under 10 minutes away in La Cala, so the family does not need to travel or learn Spanish law.
Also serving: Sitio de Calahonda, Riviera del Sol, Miraflores, El Zoco, Calypso
Tell us briefly about your case. We reply to every enquiry within 24 hours.
Thank you — we will be in touch within 24 hours.
Death certificate, Certificate of Last Wills and life-insurance search, to find out exactly what was left and how.
If there is no will, we obtain the notarial declaration of heirs (declaración de herederos).
Apostilles, sworn translations, certificates of foreign law and the European Certificate of Succession.
Valuation and filing within the 6-month deadline, applying the generous Andalusian allowances.
Acceptance and partition of the estate (escritura de aceptación y adjudicación), plus the municipal plusvalía.
Property registered in the heirs' names, bank accounts released, and the sale managed if you prefer not to keep it.
If your parent had only a UK or Irish will, we have it apostilled and translated and obtain the proof of law required by the Spanish notary. If there is a Spanish will, things move much faster.
While the inheritance is processed, community fees, conservation-entity fees, IBI and utilities must keep being paid. We help organise this so no debts build up.
Most heirs choose to sell. We coordinate the inheritance deed and sale, manage the non-resident tax obligations and make sure the proceeds reach you.

The heirs accept and divide the estate before a notary — in person or through us with power of attorney.

Non-residents can generally apply the same Andalusian allowances as residents. Even when no tax is due, the return must still be filed — late filing brings surcharges and interest.
