The formalities of an inheritance until the awarding of the assets to the heirs are complex, so it is advisable to have a lawyer specialized in inheritance.<\/p>

At Guti\u00e9rrez Pujadas & Partners we help you with all the paperwork, including the compilation of the necessary documentation, notary, registry, taxes, etc., so that you do not have to worry about anything.<\/p>

After the death of a family member, there is a period of 6 months to carry out various procedures before the payment of the Inheritance Tax, such as finding the last will and testament, ascertaining the deceased’s assets and dividing the inheritance. In these difficult moments, it is essential to have the help of an expert inheritance lawyer to take care of all the paperwork.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It is essential to understand that the distribution of inherited assets must comply with the clear guidelines of the Law. The Civil Code establishes that the inheritance is divided into three parts: the legitimate, the third of improvement and the third of free disposition.<\/p>

  • Legitimacy<\/strong>: The forced heirs must receive one third of the inheritance, divided in equal parts, unless they have been disinherited.<\/li>
  • Improvement third<\/strong>: A second third of the inheritance is destined to the legal heirs. The will may specify how this third is distributed. Without a will, it is distributed equally among the legal heirs.<\/li>
  • Free disposition third<\/strong>: This third can be distributed freely in the will. If there is no will, it also goes to the legal heirs equally. It can be used for the usufruct of the spouse.<\/li><\/ul>

    In Catalonia, there is the fourth falcidia<\/strong>, which guarantees that the forced heirs receive at least a quarter of the value of the liquid inheritance, after deducting debts and burdens. This protects forced heirs from excessive bequests to other beneficiaries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
