Hi there... I believe that a Spanish Lawyer posts to this so I have a question.  What's the situation if either the husband or wife of a  married coup whose have a joint Spanish mortgage were to die - as regards the property left behind?  I have heard that if they DO NOT have a will made then the property automatically transfers to the kids and that there are HUGE costs involved.  Is this correct? 

Would it not be the same as an Irish will where, if it's in joint names, and one of the two die then the property automatically transfers 100% to the suriving partner's name?

I would appreciate any advices.

Thanks

Hi,

I can´t offer you a specific answer. However, prior to us buying a property in Spain we were recommended to buy a book called You and the law in Spain by David Searl. This booked helped us a lot generally and at the time convinced us to get Spanish wills done when we bought over here. I can´t remember all of the details why and I no long have my copy so I can´t check them.

It is updated every year or two so it keeps up to date with the latest changes in the law. It costs less than 20 quid and can be bought online at Amazon and elsewhere. Here is a link to the latest version: http://www.amazon.co.uk/You-Law-Spain-Foreigners-Horizontal/dp/8489954259

It provides a good overview of many aspects of Spanish law that foreigners should be aware of. Preferably prior to buying property.

John
