A Spanish will costs an afternoon and saves your family months — we draft it around your life in two countries and walk you to the notary’s signature.
We plan estates for international lives: choosing the law that will govern your succession, coordinating a Spanish will with the one at home, and structuring who inherits what — with the inheritance-tax bill in view. More than twenty-five years of drafting for residents and property owners across Tenerife and Fuerteventura.
Every will is signed before a Spanish notary and recorded in the central registry of wills, the Registro de Últimas Voluntades — so it is always findable. No original to lose, no drawer to search.
Three stories we hear every week.
"We bought in Fuerteventura years ago — but our wills are still only English."
"I'm resident in Tenerife. Does Spanish law decide who inherits from me?"
"If something happened to me, my partner wouldn't know where to start."

Meet the teamIn their words
The very best of service over the last 10 years — from making wills, questions and answers, to property sales. Five star.
Very competent law firm.
I came by the office, was very well received and they advised me on my matter. I recommend them.

Wills — what clients ask first.
Do I need a Spanish will if I already have one at home?
It is almost always worth it. A Spanish will covering your Spanish assets avoids translations, apostilles and months of delay — and we draft it so the two wills never contradict each other.
Can I choose which country's law applies to my estate?
Usually, yes. The EU Succession Regulation lets you choose your national law in your will — often the difference between Spanish forced-heirship rules applying to your estate or not.
What does making a will in Spain involve?
One consultation to plan it, then a short signing appointment before a notary. We prepare a bilingual draft, and interpret for you at the signature if needed.
Where is the will kept?
The notary keeps the original and its existence is recorded in Spain's central wills registry, the Registro de Últimas Voluntades. Your heirs can always locate it with a death certificate.
