You are better off suing through the criminal courts the individuals that missappropriated your monies. You can email me direct if you wish to have further information. Dear Sally,

The reason to do this is that conflicting testaments may cause problems when enforcing them. With regards to your UK will, it certainly covers your wishes for after death, as it can be legalized for use in Spain. It will however cost you more since you will have to go through the probate procedures in the UK, and then have it translated and legalized for use in Spain. Hello David,

I made a Spanish will in the 1980's but I now want to change the beneficiary. I have been told that I MUST write a new Spanish will to cancel the original. I have read your advice above and it seems to me that my UK will can effectively deal with my wishes regarding my Spanish property. Is this so? Do I need a new Spanish will? Thanks, David I.

I went to give my months notice to the landlord, who said that if they can't find a replacement tenant they would have to keep the deposit. Is this legal,or does the fact I have given sufficient notice entitle me to my deposit? Kind regards Mike Dear Antonio,
