Inheritance lawSirejacob Legal & Tax is specialised in rendering legal assistance to their clients (foreigners in Spain or Portugal, residents and non-residents) for the administration of their patrimony, with an eye towards the organisation of their estate or the avoidance of conflicts in a family context. Several national and international legal rules will come into effect upon the decease of a foreigner with properties in Spain or Portugal. In order to avoid problems you can appeal to our services prior to the decease of a person in order to be better informed about all administrative and fiscal aspects involved: applicable inheritance law, any inheritance tax to pay, prescription of inheritance tax, the need to draw up a will or not and in which country this is best laid down. We act on your behalf and offer you concrete solutions. A power of attorney can be drawn out by your home notary according our models.This power of attorney enables us to sign the notary acceptance of the heritage in Spain or Portugal on behalf of the heirs and liquidate the administrative and fiscal settlement of the estate entirely. This means we will also do everything necessary after the notary acceptance so the declaration and deed will be forwarded to the correspondent tax collecting office. After the arrangement of the inheritance taxes (if due, or the receipt of the certificate which states that no inheritance tax is owed due to prescription), we will forward the deed to the corresponding register office and we will take care that the real estate in Spain or Portugal will be put in the heir's name.
