Lawyers specializing in inheritance and succession in Murcia. We manage the complete processing of inheritances, drafting and contesting wills, division of inherited assets, declarations of heirs, succession and tax planning, and claiming legitimate portions. Proven experience in complex successions.
Complete inheritance processing
We handle the entire succession process: obtaining death and last will certificates, opening the will, inventory and valuation of assets, settlement of Inheritance Tax, acceptance and adjudication deed, and registration of assets.
Contesting wills and claiming legitimate portions
If you believe a will harms your rights as a forced heir, we can contest it for testator incapacity, consent defects or preterition. We also claim the legitimate portion when the legally reserved share has not been respected.
Succession and tax planning
We advise you on organizing your succession so that your heirs pay the lowest possible taxes. The Region of Murcia has inheritance tax allowances that should be taken advantage of.

Frequently asked questions about inheritance law
How long do I have to accept an inheritance?
+
There is no fixed legal deadline, but Inheritance Tax must be settled within 6 months of death (extendable by another 6 months). We recommend starting procedures as soon as possible.
Can I renounce an inheritance with debts?
+
Yes, you can renounce the inheritance or accept it with benefit of inventory, meaning you will only be liable for debts with inherited assets, never with your own.
How much Inheritance Tax is paid in Murcia?
+
The Region of Murcia applies allowances of up to 99% for inheritances between parents and children and between spouses, significantly reducing the tax burden.
