Hand in Hand

For more than 25 years, Ábaco has offered empathy, support and emotional help to those who have lost a loved one and are going through the inheritance process in Spain. We consider it to be an important part of our role to accompany you and take the bureaucratic burden off your shoulders. Here we explain how.

In order to receive the gift that loved ones left for you, there are processes to navigate. The transfer of property from one person to another does not happen automatically in Spain. Instead, it requires the signing of a deed before the notary.

Here at Ábaco, we can carry out the whole process on your behalf, so that you do not personally have to carry out the procedures at a time when you are grieving. By giving us the power of attorney, obtained with the original documents, we can deal with the paperwork on your behalf and ensure that everything is carried out correctly with the least inconvenience to yourselves.

In this way, at those times when you need it most, we can take on the bureaucracy required for the inheritance process and you will not have to worry about it – Abaco will do it for you. As quickly as possible we put the wheels in motion so that heirs receive the gift that the deceased wanted to bequeath to them, in good time.

By entrusting a legal representative, such as Ábaco, you can avoid the difficulties that heirs can encounter when they are unaware of the inheritance process in Spain. For example, we advise all those who have been informed about the death of a loved one to contact their legal representative before informing the bank. The legal representative will make sure that the bank is told at the appropriate time, which might be different in each case.

The loss of someone you love is inevitable for all of us at some point. We cannot know what the exact impact will be for us emotionally or how we will cope with the news. For most, taking on the management of inheritance when at our most vulnerable, is not something we can contemplate. Ábaco offers the opportunity of taking on the burden of bureaucracy on your behalf, whilst you take the time you need to begin to come to terms with your loss.

Ábaco will ensure that the necessary documentation is filed, that legally established deadlines are met and that the process is completed properly, without you having to worry. The last thing you need at this difficult time is to discover that you have incurred penalties for filing taxes after the deadline.

At Ábaco, we understand your pain and we recognize how each of us will feel different and sometimes unexpectedly, at these points in our life. Let us help you by offering our affection, support and professionalism, accompanying you, together hand in hand, through the inheritance process.
