Testaments are documents in which a person orders the distribution of their assets and rights after their death. They may also include personal content to protect, for example, minor children or a spouse.

In Spain, depending on the applicable legislation, there are legitimization limitations that restrict the testator's will; the most important, although not the only ones, are in favor of the testator's descendants. The law that determines the existence of these limitations is the one that corresponds to the testator (nationality or civil residency) at the time of their death. If you do not have Spanish nationality, it is advisable to make a will if you have assets in Spain.

Required documentation:

• ID card of the testator.

• Personal information including: marital status, place and date of birth, names of parents and whether they are alive or not, name of spouse if applicable, and information about heirs.
