Hello,

I would be very grateful for advice. I inherited half of a property in Tenerife when my father died approximately 24 months ago. My father domiciled in the UK at the time of his death. My father had a Spanish Will which was lodged with a Solicitor in Tenerife.

I was not aware that I had to pay death duties. Was it my responsibility to find this information out or should I have been told by the Spanish solicitor? I had been in contact with the Spanish solicitor in order to obtain a certified copy of my father's Will, but the issue of death duties was never mentioned. There are obviously now penalties for late payment.

Thanks very much
Nigel
