Hi,
It would be necessary to know what does the testament / will say about this property.
best,

Hello mbrown,

My apologies for this late reply.

If your mother had a Will made in Spain, it could be applied and the use it to transfer ownership. If she did not leave a Will, there are two options:

- Start an Intestate process as per Spanish Law, if she was residing in Spain at the time of her death
- Start a Probate process in the UK and validate it in Spain

As the demise happened that long ago, the transfer does not attract any Inheritance Tax.

Please feel free to contact me by email ( by clicking on my profile ) if you have specific questions.

Regards,
