Inheritance Without a Notary
Ok folks, you have to pay close attention to what I am going to tell you in this post, because you can save a lot of money. It is about being able to process your inheritance, AND REGISTER IT IN THE PROPERTY REGISTRY, WITHOUT HAVING TO GO TO THE NOTARY, with all the savings that this implies.
There is only one condition, that there is only one heir, with no other co-heirs, nor legatees, nor any other person, because the idea is that there must be the possibility of adjudicating the inheritance without having to make partitions, a condition that can only be fulfilled, as I have already said, if you are the sole heir. If this is your case, it will suffice for the declaration and acceptance of inheritance to be made in a private document, (without a notary), and to be taken to the notary's office just to legitimise the signature, (the cost of which is around 8 euros, depending on the number of signatures to be legitimised). Imagine, instead of paying hundreds of euros, you pay about 8 euros and that's it.
To register the "escritura", which is actually the private document with the legitimated signature, you only have to take it to the registry, accompanied by proof of having paid the corresponding taxes (inheritance tax and capital gains tax). You only have to take care to identify the property (the flat, the premises, the house, whatever), just as it is described in the property register, but for this you only have to copy it as it appears in the title deed, or ask for a simple note from the register and copy it as it appears in it. If you are a sole heir, your inheritance can be "for a couplet". If you have any doubts, you can use the contact form (go to the contact form), or leave your comment below and I will reply as soon as possible.
Don't forget that you can contact me if you have any doubts by sending me an email with your query to dtierno@tygabogados.es.
