I understand that under spanish law a child can be a beneficiary of an estate, if this involves a % of a property how do you get around the NIE number. To change deeds after a death we have been told you need a NIE number for each beneficiary, can a child have this number, if not what happens. We had also been told that under spanish law you have to leave your estate to enforced heirs, which are direct siblings in equal share and would not include a grandson, is this correct. (All beneficiaries concerned are british nationals, the property concerned is in Mallorca, which was owned by their father who died in August 2009)
