Testamento y Herencia

A Guide to Wills and Inheritance in Spain

Testamentoyherencia.es is an information site about wills and inheritance in Spain. It presents legal topics in accessible language and describes itself as a reference resource, not a law firm or legal-advice practice.

Wills, Heirs, and Regional Rules

The site's guides cover different kinds of wills, including handwritten, open, and sealed wills, as well as living wills and charitable bequests. It also explains inheritance with or without a will, the administration of an estate while it is being settled, and the reserved portions of an estate that Spanish law allocates to certain heirs.

Because succession rules differ across Spain's autonomous communities, the site organizes information about reserved shares and inheritance rights by region. It also covers legacies, unmarried partners' succession rights, preventive powers of attorney, and advance directives for health and property decisions.

Links to Legal Sources and Professional Organizations

Alongside its explainers, Testamento y Herencia provides a directory of bar associations organized by autonomous community and links to Spain's common Civil Code and regional civil codes. The site says readers can go directly to the provisions concerning succession.

The structure helps readers orient themselves among topics and locate the regional rules and original legal texts relevant to their question.
