Is a Spanish will compulsory?

Answer:

No. The inheritance law of your country of residence applies. For example, if you live in Belgium, Belgian inheritance law will continue to apply to your worldwide assets.

Therefore, if you are resident in Spain, Spanish inheritance law applies. In that case, it is advisable to draw up a Spanish will with the inheritance law of the country of your nationality.
