In this episode, An-Sofie and Glenn discuss the many misunderstandings surrounding Spanish inheritance law and explain why a Spanish will is often not a luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this episode, you will discover:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Why Belgian\/Dutch inheritance law is so different from Spanish inheritance law.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • How the European Succession Regulation (Brussels IV) determines which law applies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Why a choice of law<\/strong> in your will can be essential, especially for residents in Spain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The consequences of the Spanish \"leg\u00edtima\" and the limited protection of the surviving partner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • How a Spanish will avoids expensive translations, red tape and wasted time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The importance of the six-month deadline for Spanish inheritance tax and how to avoid penalties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The crucial differences in inheritance tax between regions such as Andalusia, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • What it means for your heirs if there is only a Belgian will - or none at all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For whom.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n

    • Anyone who wants to avoid getting their heirs into an administrative and tax nightmare.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
