Inheritance and wills for owners in Vilafranca de Bonany
When a property in Vilafranca de Bonany is inherited, the heirs must accept the inheritance before a notary, pay Inheritance and Gift Tax, generally within six months of the death, and register the property in their name. Where the deceased was a foreign national, the EU Succession Regulation (650/2012) determines which country’s law applies to the estate.
We handle the whole process for families in Spain and abroad: certificates, translations, tax returns and registration. We also advise owners in Vilafranca de Bonany on making a Spanish will to make things easier for their heirs.
Rustic land in Vilafranca de Bonany
Much of the land around Vilafranca de Bonany is classified as rustic land (suelo rústico), where building rules are far more restrictive than in urban areas. Before signing anything, we check that the house, pool and any extensions were built with the corresponding licences, that the description in the Land Registry and the Cadastre matches reality, and that there are no planning infringement proceedings open.
We also review access, boundaries, easements, mortgages and outstanding local taxes, so you know exactly what you are buying and can negotiate with full information.
With one lawyer coordinating the matter and a multidisciplinary team behind, you avoid dealing with several advisers at once. Advice is available in English, Spanish and German.
