How we handle your inheritance, step by step
Handling an inheritance from another country raises questions. That is why at Torrevieja Consult we follow a clear, structured process, designed so you always know exactly where your case stands.
1. Initial consultation and case review
We review your situation: whether there is a will, where the assets are located, who the heirs are, and whether any international element affects the applicable law.
2. Document collection
We gather death certificates, wills registry certificates, deeds and any other notarial document required, both in Spain and in Sweden if necessary.
3. Tax calculation and settlement
We prepare the Inheritance Tax settlement and, where applicable, handle double-taxation relief so you avoid paying twice for the same asset.
4. Deed of acceptance of inheritance
We coordinate signing before the notary and handle the registration of the assets in the heirs' names.
5. Follow-up through to completion
We keep you informed in your own language throughout the process, until the inheritance is fully settled.

Frequently asked questions about inheritance lawyers in Torrevieja
It is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended. A lawyer specialising in inheritance will help you manage the paperwork, avoid legal mistakes and minimise taxes.
The process can take between 2 and 6 months, depending on the paperwork and whether there are disputes among heirs. In complex cases, or where heirs live abroad, it can take up to a year or longer.
For heirs who are not resident in Spain, the tax is paid at national level under different rules. In addition, if the deceased was a foreign national, the law of their home country may apply if the will provides for it.
Non-residents pay Inheritance and Gift Tax at national rather than regional level, although since 2015 they may apply the rules of the autonomous region where the assets are located if these are more favourable.
The amount payable depends on the value of the inherited assets, the degree of kinship and the heir’s pre-existing wealth. In addition, if the deceased lived outside Spain, it may be necessary to file Form 720 to declare overseas assets exceeding €50,000.
EU Succession Regulation 650/2012 allows the will to specify whether Spanish or Swedish law applies to the estate.
Sweden has had no inheritance tax since 2004, but Spain does, so a Swedish citizen with assets in Spain is taxed here regardless of the position in their home country. Choosing the applicable law and planning ahead helps avoid conflicts between the two legal systems.
