Notary in Barcelona for Wills
The drafting of a will deed is one of the specialties within the inheritance management services in notary offices. A Notary in Barcelona for wills is essential to validate this procedure and guarantee the succession desired.
Notary for Wills in Barcelona
When making a will, the transfer of a person's assets and rights is established, always in accordance with their wishes. Other patrimonial provisions can also be established to protect the spouse, or minors, or the appointment of legacies.
The succession generally occurs after the death of the testator, being a mortis causa act. However, other types of wills in Barcelona can also be processed, such as the closed, joint, or holographic will.
Draft a Will in Barcelona
There are different considerations to take into account when drafting wills:
- Making a will avoids inheritance procedures without a will, such as the well-known declaration of heirs abintestato.
- By doing so, it will be possible to process the inheritance deed in which the distribution of assets is formalised.
- Testamentary provisions can be revoked, allowing the previous will to be replaced or modified before a Notary.
- If, due to the omission of an asset or right, the heirs need to include it later in the inheritance, an inheritance addition deed will be processed.
- Making a will in Catalonia and in Spain varies according to the different laws that govern it (in Catalonia subject to Law 10/2008 of 10 July, of Book IV of the Catalan Civil Code, and in Spain the Spanish Civil Code, articles 662 to 743).
The Will before a Notary
The traditional will, known as an open will (which accounts for more than 90% of wills granted in Spain), is drafted before a Notary. You only need to choose a day and time for your appointment at a notary's office. We recommend that you have planned how you will transfer your estate on the chosen day. Please note that people who cannot read or sign must be accompanied by two witnesses. If you wish to have a will deed for a foreigner who does not speak Spanish or Catalan, they must be accompanied by an interpreter.
On the day of the appointment, you will express your wishes orally and the Notary will transcribe and draft the will in the established legal form.
The Notary for wills deeds in Barcelona
The figure of the Notary for making wills is fundamental. They act as a guarantor of legality, advising on legal aspects to those who come to make a will, preventing the will from being null, generating interpretative doubts, or having drafting defects. Their knowledge avoids disputes among heirs and, furthermore, they issue a capacity judgment, evaluating the mental faculties of those who grant it. Additionally, they will ensure that the legislation is complied with and that the rights of all persons who may be affected are respected.
After signing, the notary's office will communicate the granting to the General Register of Last Will Acts, identifying the testator by full name and DNI, but without ever declaring the content of the will.
For this reason, when the testator dies and after receiving the death certificate, the next step is to contact the Register to check the existence or not of said will and arrange a meeting with the Notary who holds it. It is at that moment that the heirs will have access.
