The last will

THE LAST WILL

Regarding the formal validity of a last will, in a international inheritance

A last will made in writing is deemed valid in Spain if it has been made:

  • Under the law of the place where it has been made.
  • Under the law of the nationality of the testator, at the time of drawing up or at the time of death.
  • Under the law of the residence of the testator, at the time of drawing up or at the time of death.
  • Under the law of the domicile of the testator, at the time of drawing up or at the time of death.
  • Under the law of the place where any immovable assets are located.

    • If the last will revokes or modifies a previous last will, the REVOCATION will be valid if it complies with either, the law to be applied to the earlier will, or to the final will, if different.

    Regarding the admissibility and substantive validity of the dispositions upon death

    This shall be governed by the law that would have been applicable to the inheritance of the person who made that disposition upon death if he had died on the date on which the disposition was made.
