INHERITANCE LAW
Estates, Successions, and Patrimony
Are you considering making a will? Do you have any issues with your will or that of a family member? Are you set to inherit assets in Spain? You're unsure where to begin and want to learn more.
At Delaguía&Luzón, we are experts in estates, and we can assist you in three key aspects.
First and foremost, it's important to remember that when we talk about inheritances, we're talking about legacies.
