Wills are documents in which a person orders the distribution of his or her property and rights after his or her death. There may also be personal content, for example to protect minor children or a spouse.

In Spain, depending on the applicable law, there are legitimacy limitations that restrict the testator's will; the most important, although not the only ones, are in favour of the testator's descendants. The law that determines the existence of such limitations is the law that corresponds to the testator (nationality or civil residence) at the time of death. If you do not have Spanish nationality, the advisability of making a will if you have assets in Spain is emphasised.

Necessary documentation:

• D.N.I of the testator.

• Personal details with: marital status, place and date of birth, names of parents and whether they are alive or not, name of spouse, if applicable, and details of heirs.
