It is most important that you firstly determine whether your husband was in fact domiciled in Spain. Succession of an estate is determined by domicile and NOT residence. Although it is possible to change your domicile, it is generally determined by where you are born, your father's domicile and your passport. If you continue to have assets in the UK then it is most likely that you are still UK domiciled. If you do not have a UK Will then the UK Rules of Intestacy would apply.
I suggest you get advice from an appropriately experienced solicitor in the UK(not a conveyancer) to deal with this for you. Not possible to give more detailed informaion in this forum as each case is different.
Hope this helps.
