Inheritance & Succession

Wills

A will is a legal document of great importance, since it allows a person to express his or her wishes and decisions regarding the distribution of his or her estate after his or her death. At Martínez Lafuente Abogados we understand the importance of this act and we are here to guide you through the entire process, ensuring that your wishes are carried out properly and in accordance with the law.

    • Types of Wills

      There are several types of wills, and we will help you choose the one that best suits your needs:

    • Open Will: the most common type, drafted in the presence of a notary, ensuring the legality and validity of the document.
    • Closed Will: : this type is drafted in private and delivered to the notary in a sealed envelope. It is only opened after death.
    • Holographic Will: handwritten by the testator, without a notary. Our experts will help you comply with the legal requirements for its validity.
    • In the event that the deceased has died and there is no will, a declaration of heirs must be made, which, among other requirements, requires the appearance of two witnesses who knew the deceased. In addition, it is necessary to obtain a lot of documentation such as birth and death certificates of the deceased and the family record book.

      Yes, it is possible. The causes of unworthiness to succeed are also causes of disinheritance, applicable to all the legitimates and are the following:

    • Having been convicted in a trial for having attempted against the life of the testator, his spouse, descendants or ascendants.
    • Having accused the testator of a crime when the accusation is declared slanderous.
    • Having forced the testator, by threat, fraud or violence, to make a will or to change it.
    • Having prevented him, by threat, fraud or violence, from making a will or revoking the one he had made, or supplanting, concealing or altering a subsequent will.

    In addition, the specific causes for disinheriting children and descendants are regulated in article 853 and other concordant articles of the Civil Code and are as follows:

    • To have denied, without legitimate reason, the maintenance to the parent or ascendant who disinherits him/her.
    • Having mistreated him/her in deed or seriously insulted him/her in word.
