Inheritance in Sotogrande by Michael Davies in a nutshell: 

  • Michael Davies the owner or the firm is a fluent English speaking Spanish probate lawyer  with over 25 years experience.
  • He is  member of the law societies of Almería and Madrid.
  • He is a well   known Spanish inheritance tax expert . We will make sure that you pay the minimum amount of inheritance tax possible. Inheritance tax forms are presented by self assessment and the exemptions applicable vary depending on where in Spain the beneficiary is resident  or on where the assets are situated if the beneficiary is non resident in Spain.  To make things more complex we have had a few  changes to the exemption rates in the last 3 years and to the way they apply to non-residents due to varios sentences by the E.C.J. and the Spanish Supreme court.  We will also take into account the effect of the inheritance valuation on the future capital gains tax  very often overlooked. In Andalucía most families no longer pay inheritance tax.
  • We take care of everything from start to finish including  inheritance tax registration and registration of the real estate.
  • We are transparent and upfront with our fees. (no surprises). We do not provide a below the market quote for Probate to then surprise our clients with fees for extra items.
  • We are proactive with our advice. We have done this hundreds of times before so we know exactly what needs to be done.
  • We have offices in Marbella, Almeria and Mojacar  but we can handle probate anywhere in Spain at no extra cost to you.
  • Our experience of  over 25 years and over 300 probate cases handled allows us in 90% of cases to provide an exact budget and timescale from the start and avoid all the pitfalls of an inheritance procedure avoiding both extra costs and delays.
