    Spanish Inheritance & Probate for UK Nationals

    When a UK-domiciled individual inherits property or assets in Spain, they may face dual probate and inheritance tax obligations in both jurisdictions. Navigating two legal systems at once can be complex particularly when different languages, laws, and tax authorities are involved.

    At Del Canto Chambers, we provide specialised probate and inheritance support for UK nationals with interests or estates in Spain. Our bilingual team combines deep knowledge of Spanish civil law, UK probate rules, and international tax coordination, ensuring an efficient, compliant and seamless process during what is often a difficult time.
