My Aunt has just died in Spain. She had lived there for 30 years. She had recently sold her property and her Spanish assets consist only of 3 bank accounts totaling 150,000 euros. In a Spanish Will dated 1985 she leaves her property to my mother - her sister in law, this will was not rewritten when she sold her property. The Spanish solicitor who has the will says the money from the property sale will go to my mother and will be liable for Spanish Inheritance Tax. My Aunt has also left an English Will written in 1987 leaving all her assets to be liquidised and shared between 10 nieces and nephews.
My Aunt was Dutch, married an Englisman, lived and worked in England and went to spain in 1982.

Any ideas which will is valid with regard to the money in Spain?

This all seems confusing and we want to make sure that the money goes to the right person/people whilst protecting the capital sum as much as possible.

The Spanish Lawyer is getting on with things that end, we will be making contact with the soilicitor holding the english will on Monday.
