Your trusted inheritance lawyer in Fuengirola

Fuengirola is home to thousands of British, Scandinavian and Irish owners, so many inheritances here involve heirs living abroad, foreign wills and bank accounts in more than one country. That is exactly the kind of case we are used to handling.

As your inheritance lawyer in Fuengirola, Dolores Perujo deals with the Spanish side from start to finish — certificates, inheritance tax, notary, Fuengirola Town Hall plusvalía, banks and Land Registry — while you stay at home.

Fuengirola inheritances: common situations

Nordic and British wills

Wills made in Sweden, Norway, Finland or the UK can be used in Spain, but need apostilles, sworn translations and proof of the foreign law. We coordinate all of it.

Apartments in communities

Most inherited properties in Fuengirola are apartments. We check community debts and arrange for fees and IBI to keep being paid while the estate is processed.

Bank accounts

Spanish banks block the deceased's accounts. We provide the documents each bank requires to release the funds to the heirs.

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 Fuengirola

If you inherit Spanish assets, a Spanish inheritance tax return is required. Non-residents can generally apply the Andalusian allowances, so close relatives usually pay little or nothing — but the return must be filed within six months.
It depends on the land value in the cadastre and how long the deceased owned the property. We calculate it with both legal methods before filing and choose the cheaper one.
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.
