You can also submit it through the <strong>MJUS website<\/strong>, provided that the death was not registered before April 2009.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\">You will need to meet the requirements, most notably the <strong>Form 730<\/strong>. You will also need to have the <strong>death certificate<\/strong> and a receipt for the filing fee.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Anyone can request a certificate of last will and testament.
