Spanish succession law

Which are the main ways of deferring inheritance in Spain? Does a last testament and will have to be granted before a public notary? Which of the various existing regulations in Spain applies to the deceased? These are some of the questions that this book (Spanish Succession Law) tries to answer.

Written in a direct and agile style, this book explains all the essential concepts of Spanish Succession Law: the principles that govern it, the different stages in which an inheritance can be found and the way to divide it, the different types of wills and the criteria for their interpretation, the reserved share, the collation, the legacies and bequests, the substitutions... Covering all the Succession Law, while making reference to the foral specialties, allows the reader to have a complete knowledge of the rules which govern successions in Spain. It is, in short, a valuable work for legal practitioners, academics and students.
