Your trusted inheritance lawyer in Marbella

Marbella estates are often larger and more complex: several properties, company-held villas, investment portfolios and heirs in different countries. Getting the Spanish side right — and on time — protects both the family and the value of the estate.

As your inheritance lawyer in Marbella, Dolores Perujo coordinates with your international advisers and handles Spanish probate, inheritance tax, notary deeds and the Marbella Land Registry with discretion.

How we help you in Marbella

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.

Marbella estates: what needs attention

High-value valuations

Tax is calculated on the value of each asset. We make sure properties are valued correctly against the official reference values, avoiding both overpayment and later reassessments.

Villas owned through companies

If the deceased held a villa through a company, the heirs inherit shares, not the property. We advise on the tax and corporate steps for that structure.

Heirs in several countries

We coordinate powers of attorney, apostilles and translations from every country involved and, where useful, the European Certificate of Succession.

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 Marbella

Under EU Regulation 650/2012 the law of the deceased's last habitual residence applies, unless they chose the law of their nationality in their will. This decides who inherits — so the will is the first thing we review.
Marbella is in Andalusia: spouses, children and parents benefit from a €1,000,000 reduction each and a 99% credit. Siblings, nephews and unrelated heirs pay considerably more, which is why planning matters.
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.
