An estate in two countries is two estates. We simplify it.

Frequently asked questions

  • By default the law of your habitual residence applies. You may choose your national law by will. A decision with significant tax implications.

  • In the Valencia region there are 75-99% reductions for spouses, children and parents. Non-residents can also benefit after European case law.

  • Often one well-drafted will is enough and prevents conflicts. We analyse each case individually.
