Hi

Thanks for your help, I have indeed been through the notary and gestor and paid a substantial amount of inheritance tax and did think that the documents I recveived were the change of deed acceptance etc.  I will now contact the bank with these and see if these are the acceptable documents for them to proceed with the release of the bank account funds.

I will shortly need support when selling the property but do not envisage that being for some time.

I have to say that it has been an eye opener going through the Spanish legal system as it is somewhat different from England.  Thankfully I had an interpreter to help.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi, I thnk I have just inherited my late fathers appartment in Spain.  I have a legal document called 'acuerdo de alteracion de la titularidad' - I did a google translate and I think it is the entitlement to the property but not 100% sure and the only people I know who speak Spanish are in Spain and I am in England.

Also banks say they need an 'escritura' before they can release any funds - what is that and where do I get one from?

 

Any help gratefully received. 

This looks like a good website so think I will be on here quite a bit,

Tracey
