Hi, I live in Zaragoza Spain. My 2 sisters live in the UK. My mother recently died and we are trying to sort out her estate. She had a bank account in Begur (costa brava) access to this is complicated. We have her Will and death certificate but the bank are also asking for a “last will certificate” and a letter from a notary in which the heirs accept their inheritance.

I asked the woman at the bank if she could explain a bit more about this, but I am not much the wiser with her reply below.

“The last will certificate is a document in which appear all the wills that your mother has done. When you accept the heritage you have to go to the notary and the document of this step is what we need also.”

Can anyone here elaborate on what we need to do here bearing in mind my 2 sisters live in the UK.

Many thanks in advance
Mark
