Are you familiar with the living will and its importance when transferring property? This applies in the event of the death of a person who can no longer act as the owner and wishes to delegate this role.
Learn about the purpose of a living will
First of all, do you know what a certificate of last will and testament is? In Spain, this legal document is characterized by the following details:
- It is used to verify that a person did indeed bequeath their assets to an heir before their death
- It contains information about who will become the owners of the assets that remain unclaimed
- Suele tener también datos acerca del efecto de los seguros que estaban siendo asignados al difunto
However, what really matters is knowing how to request it if necessary. Below, we’ll walk you through the steps you need to take:
Learn how to make a request
There are many important points to note about this document and how to obtain it easily. Some key points to keep in mind are as follows:
- You can submit your request either by visiting the citizen service office or by mail. You can also submit it through the MJUS website, provided that the death was not registered before April 2009.
- If you are filing the request online, the deceased must be listed in the Spanish public registry. Otherwise, your request may be denied and you will not be able to obtain the document.
- You will need to meet the requirements, most notably the Form 730. You will also need to have the death certificate and a receipt for the filing fee.
- Anyone can request a certificate of last will and testament. However, depending on who has been designated as the new owner, that person will be the one who can receive a copy of the certificate.
- Delivery times range from 10 days for conventional methods to 5 days for online orders.
Therefore, the process simply involves visiting any of the relevant offices or the website to submit the required documents. Then, you just have to wait for the specified period to elapse before you can finally receive the information.
