Dolores Perujo — Inheritance Lawyer in Costa del Sol
Dolores PerujoAbogada · Málaga Bar AssociationWe work along the whole coast from our office in La Cala de Mijas

Your trusted inheritance lawyer in Costa del Sol

Thousands of foreign families own homes on the Costa del Sol, and sooner or later those homes are inherited. Spanish inheritance law, Andalusian tax rules and EU succession rules all come into play — usually while the heirs live in another country.

From our office in La Cala de Mijas, Dolores Perujo handles inheritances anywhere on the coast, from Málaga to Manilva, entirely remotely if needed.

Also serving: Málaga, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, Estepona, Manilva, Nerja

How we help you in Costa del Sol

Wills & certificates

Death certificate, Certificate of Last Wills and life-insurance search, to find out exactly what was left and how.

Declaration of heirs

If there is no will, we obtain the notarial declaration of heirs (declaración de herederos).

Foreign wills & probate

Apostilles, sworn translations, certificates of foreign law and the European Certificate of Succession.

Inheritance tax

Valuation and filing within the 6-month deadline, applying the generous Andalusian allowances.

Notary deed

Acceptance and partition of the estate (escritura de aceptación y adjudicación), plus the municipal plusvalía.

Registry, banks & sale

Property registered in the heirs' names, bank accounts released, and the sale managed if you prefer not to keep it.

Spanish inheritances for families abroad

No need to travel

Each heir signs a power of attorney in their own country, with an apostille. We sign the inheritance deed, pay the taxes and register the property for them.

Andalusian tax advantages

Close relatives benefit from a €1,000,000 reduction each and a 99% tax credit. Non-residents can generally apply the same rules.

One lawyer, every town

We deal with the plusvalía and IBI of each Town Hall on the coast and with the Land Registries of Málaga, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella and Estepona.

Inheritance tax in Andalusia

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.

Frequently asked questions — Inheritance in Costa del Sol

To start: the death certificate, a copy of the will if you have it, and the passports and NIEs of the heirs (we can obtain NIEs for you). We request the rest — including the Certificate of Last Wills.
The estate is divided by agreement whenever possible. If heirs disagree, there are legal ways to force a division, including court proceedings. We first try to reach a fair agreement for everyone.
No. Each heir can sign a power of attorney in their own country (with an apostille) and we sign the inheritance deed, file the taxes and deal with the banks and the Land Registry for them.
If there is a foreign will, it must be apostilled, translated and accompanied by proof of the foreign law — slower and more expensive, but we handle it. If there is no will at all, we obtain a declaration of heirs.
