Key Legal Considerations for Inheritances in Spain
Who Pays Inheritance Tax in Spain?
In Spain, inheritance tax is paid by the beneficiary. Whether you are a resident or a non-resident, your tax rate depends on your relationship with the deceased and the region of Spain where the assets are located. We assess your case, explain applicable exemptions, and file your declaration properly.

Inheritance and Gift Tax in Spain
1. Who is responsible for paying inheritance tax in Spain?
In Spain, inheritance tax is paid by the beneficiary—not the estate. Whether you are a non-resident or live in Spain, the amount you owe depends on your relationship to the deceased and the region where the assets are located. At LPB Solicitors, we assess your case, apply any exemptions, and file your tax return with full legal compliance.
2. Can non-residents inherit property in Spain?
Yes. Non-residents can inherit property or other assets in Spain, but the legal and tax process differs from that of residents. Our English-speaking lawyers assist with property transfers, Land Registry updates, and cross-border coordination to ensure a secure and tax-efficient process for heirs abroad.
3. How do I make a valid will in Spain?
We recommend drafting a Spanish will if you own assets in Spain. This ensures your estate is distributed according to your wishes and prevents future disputes. Our legal consultants guide you through succession planning, optimize the tax burden, and make sure your will complies with Spanish and international law.
4. Is it better to donate property during my lifetime?
In many cases, lifetime donations can reduce your heirs’ future tax burden and offer more legal control. We provide expert guidance on the gift tax implications, legal process, and strategies to maximize tax savings while ensuring legal security for both parties.
