Legal tip 283. Inheritance and wills in Spain for dummies, IV
Monday, May 31, 2010 @ 9:29 AM
If you want to leave your widow or widower with the greatest possible rights, you can bequeath him/her the “universal" usufruct, (all you had before dying) and name your children as heirs equally.
The widow/ widower will be able to use and receive income and benefits of the common patrimony (if they were married under the common goods system). In no event he/she may sell anything without all the children give their consent. Once the widow/widower dies, the children will receive, without limitation, inheritance of both parents.
