If you live in Spain but have another nationality, have you checked which law could apply to your inheritance?
🇪🇺 Under the EU Succession Regulation, the general rule is that the law of the country where the deceased had their habitual residence applies to the succession.
However, a person may choose the law of their nationality to govern their succession, provided the choice is made in accordance with the Regulation. This can be particularly relevant for international residents who have property or other assets in Spain.
