Catalan succession law

Real Estate Inheritance Management in Barcelona.

We handle the inheritance with real estate from start to finish: acceptance, allocation, taxes and, if they arise, disputes between heirs.

Succession specialists

Specialists in the Catalan Civil Code for successions


Catalan succession law has its own rules. Knowing them is key to correctly allocating properties and minimising the tax burden.

Acceptance and Allocation of Inherited Properties

We manage the certificate of last wills, the declaration of heirs, the deed of acceptance and the registration of the properties at the Land Registry.

Calculation of the Legitimate Share and Settlement of Inheritance Tax in Barcelona

We calculate the legitimate share under the Catalan Civil Code and settle inheritance tax applying all regional allowances and reductions.

Disputes between Heirs over the Sale of Co-owned Property

We mediate between co-heirs and, when there is no agreement, we bring the action to divide the common property to end the co-ownership of the home.

End-to-end service

Frequently asked questions

We answer your questions


Mainly inheritance tax (with significant allowances in Catalonia depending on the family relationship) and the municipal capital gains tax of Barcelona City Council. We calculate both and apply all available reductions.

It is the part of the estate that the law reserves for certain forced heirs (descendants and, failing that, parents). In Catalonia it amounts to a quarter of the estate and has its own rules, different from the Spanish Civil Code.

When there is co-ownership (several owners of the same property) and no agreement, an action to divide the common property can be brought. We first seek an agreement and, if not possible, the judicial route to end the co-ownership.

Inheritance tax must generally be filed within 6 months of death, extendable. It is advisable to act early to avoid surcharges and to plan the allocation.
