The quickest and cheapest answer to your needs regarding legal and tax in Spain.

Do you have a Will in your home country and another one in Spain?
That can be perfectly valid — but only if both documents are properly coordinated.

Many international clients assume that having two Wills automatically gives them more protection. In reality, if the wording is not carefully reviewed, one Will may conflict with the other or even accidentally revoke it.

That can create delays, confusion and unnecessary complications for your family when the estate needs to be administered.

If you own assets in Spain and already have a foreign Will, it is important to make sure both documents work together, not against each other.

Málaga Solicitors can help you review your estate planning and make sure your Wills are properly aligned.

Being together for years does not always mean having the same legal protection as a married couple.

In Andalucía, the consequences can be very different depending on whether you are married, registered as a civil partnership or simply living together. This can affect both inheritance rights and inheritance tax treatment.

And for international couples, the situation may be even more complex. Your nationality, habitual residence, where your assets are located and which succession law applies can all influence the outcome.

The key question is not simply whether you have a Will.

It is: if one of you died tomorrow, would the surviving partner actually be protected in the way you expect?

If you are unsure, it may be time to review your position.

Giving your child a property in Spain may seem straightforward, but the tax consequences can be more complex than many families expect.

A property gift can potentially involve three different taxes: Gift Tax, Capital Gains Tax and municipal capital gains tax. The amount payable can vary depending on where the property is located, its value, when it was acquired and the circumstances of both parties.

And taxes are only part of the picture. Notary fees, Land Registry fees and professional costs may also need to be considered.

That is why the right question is not simply:

“How much is Gift Tax?”

It is:

"What is the total cost of transferring this property?”

Before completing a property gift in Spain, speak to our team so you can understand the full legal and tax implications.

Do you own a property in Spain but do not rent it out?
Many non-resident owners assume that if there is no rental income, there is nothing to declare in Spain.

In many cases, that is not correct.

If you are a non-resident and you own a property in Spain, simply keeping it available for your own use may create a tax obligation. This can apply even if it is only your holiday home, and even if it stays empty for most of the year.

That is why it is important to understand when Form 210 may apply to your situation.

If you live abroad and own property in Spain, Málaga Solicitors can help you review your obligations and make sure everything is filed correctly.

Are you unmarried and own assets in Spain?
This is something many couples do not review until it is too late.

If you are not married, it is important to check:

whether you are legally registered as a civil partnership or simply living together
what your current Will actually says
who legally owns your property and other major assets
and what the inheritance tax consequences could be if one of you dies

Estate planning in Spain is not only about having a Will. Your family situation, ownership structure and tax position can all make a difference.

If you live in Spain or own property here and want to review your position, our team can help you understand your options and plan properly.

🏠 Do you own a property in Spain with your partner or another person?

When it comes to Form 210, having two names on the property does not necessarily mean everything is dealt with as one joint tax filing.

The ownership percentages shown in the title deeds are important, and each owner’s individual position needs to be considered when preparing the tax return.

A simple assumption about joint ownership can lead to incorrect filings.

If you jointly own property in Spain and are unsure about your Form 210 obligations, our team can help you review your situation and make sure the filing reflects the actual ownership.

27/09/2026

Two people can own the same property in Spain, with the same cadastral value and the same period of ownership… and still pay a different amount under Form 210.

Why? Because your country of tax residence can affect the tax rate applied.

For example, a UK tax resident and a German tax resident may obtain different results even when the Spanish property itself is identical.

And that is only one part of the calculation. Your cadastral value, ownership percentage, days of ownership or personal use, and any rental periods can also affect the final figure.

That is why copying another owner’s Form 210 calculation can lead to mistakes.

If you own property in Spain as a non-resident, Málaga Solicitors can review your circumstances, calculate the amount correctly and file Form 210 on your behalf.

Owning a property in Spain as a non-resident can create tax obligations even if you do not rent it out.

Many foreign owners assume that if their property generates no rental income, there is nothing to declare. However, Spanish tax rules may attribute an imputed income to a property that is available for your personal use.

That means Form 210 may still apply if your property is:

Used only for holidays
Empty for most of the year
Visited only for a few weeks each year

For property available to you during 2025, the current deadline for declaring the corresponding imputed income is 31 December 2026.

Form 210 is a self-assessment, so it is your responsibility to identify the obligation, calculate it correctly and submit it on time.

Málaga Solicitors can review your situation and file Form 210 on your behalf.

Living together for years does not necessarily give an unmarried partner the same inheritance rights or tax treatment as a spouse in Spain.

If you share a home, own property together or have built your life in Spain, it is important to understand what could happen if one of you dies.

A Will can be an important part of the solution, but your situation should also be reviewed alongside how the property is owned, your legal relationship status and the potential inheritance tax consequences.

Planning in advance gives you the opportunity to make informed decisions together, rather than leaving your partner to deal with uncertainty later.

If you live in Spain or own assets here, our team can review your circumstances and explain the options available to you.

20/09/2026

If you are planning to buy property, pay taxes, open a bank account or deal with certain legal procedures in Spain, you may need an NIE number.

The NIE is the identification number assigned to foreigners for many official, financial and tax-related matters in Spain. Obtaining it early can help avoid unnecessary delays later, particularly if you are preparing a property purchase or arranging your move from abroad.

The application normally involves the correct form, supporting documents and an appointment with the relevant authority. Small mistakes or missing paperwork can slow the process down.

At Malaga Solicitors Group, we can advise you on the NIE process and help you prepare the necessary documentation according to your circumstances.

Need an NIE number in Spain? Speak with our team before you start the process.
