Applicable Inheritance Law to Estate Located in Spain
Hello - my mother lived in Spain the last 6 years of her life. She had a separate Spanish will for her Spanish assets (all regulated now) and an English will for her UK estate consisting of movable goods (pension, bank etc). The Executor who was the family lawyer has spent over a year worrying over whether she was therefore domicile in Spain meaning her English will is valid and should be regulated under Spanish law.
As my mother died 18 months ago and he decided the domicile was an issue over a year ago, you can imagine I want closure on all of this.
I and others have drafted statements stating that she had nerver ruled out a return to the UK but his advisor, John Maddocks of Lester Aldridge does not seem satisfied that a judge will grant probate. Frankly, I think the two of them are quite incompetent.
Any advice on what I should do to progress this matter?
Thanks and best wishes, Felix
