How the property will be divided after husband's death (there is no Will)?

[Kate]

Thank you very much for your answer. Does it make any difference if the death occured in Spain?

[Lawbird Lawyer]

No difference.

Will just make your life easier on requesting the Death Certicate from the Civil Registry saving you money, hassle and time.

Hello,

I am in the same situation in relation to death of an owner (grandfather) of a Spanish property but with no English OR Spanish Will.
His wife paid for part of the house, but the Spanish law says that the property should be left to the eldest Son (my father)
What happens as the Grandfather was and his family are British Citizens?

Many thanks,

Emma
