Successions
The agents involved in the inheritance are notaries, but also lawyers. Having the proper advice when planning your succession will avoid future problems that could even lead to the invalidity of the will, since wills must comply with the corresponding regulations.
Our inheritance system is based on Legitimacy, in the sense that the testator is not always free to leave his assets as he wants. The Legitimacy is translated into the obligation to leave something to the so-called forced heirs: descendants, ascendants and spouse, depending on the case, who cannot be deprived of their rights, except in cases of disinheritance or due to indignity.
If a will is not made, the law will determine who will be the heirs following a kinship order and, as a prior procedure, a declaration of heirs must be made before a notary public. This procedure involves, in the best of cases, a cost, at least three times higher than the granting of the will, so it is always convenient to grant it. mínimo, tres veces superior al otorgamiento del testamento, por lo que es siempre conveniente otorgar éste.
The problems in inheritance are very varied, therefore it is necessary to have expert legal advice and, before making a decision, to know all the legally existing options; to know questions related to how a will is drawn up, who has the capacity to inherit, how an inheritance can be accepted or renounced and its consequences, can the acceptance or resignation be revoked?, what is the inheritance in abeyance?, what is the Legitimacy?, how to partition the inheritance if there is a will or if there is no will?, what happens with the donations made by the parents to the children in life? ...
