In 1979, I married a Spanish girl in London, at the registrar's office. Sadly it lasted for three year, due to family reasons etc. We did not have any children & since obtaining our Decree Nisi, she went back to Spain & now lives in Madrid. I do not know her marital status.

I, have since not got married or have any children of my own. I have a property in Marbella, which I would like to leave behind to her.

The problem, I have is to how to give/transfer/donate to her to minimise taxes etc as she would not be in a position to pay for them from her own sources. I have also heard that I can pass the property onto her & live in it for as long as I live. I would not like any complex tax structures like setting trust, offshore Company etc.

As the property is in Spain, I need to prepare a Spanish will which I need to incorporate in my English will. I am a UK resident for Tax purposes.
