Making the will
Please advise if the Spanish government will honour our UK WILL for our Spanish home or do we need to make a separate WILL what are the implications as you only allow to have one WILL.

If you are resident here you need Spanish will. It can be a duplicate of the British one. Taxes here are very different. See a tax person before deciding.

Thank you for the information, I have made an appointment with a solicitor here about the will. We’re not residents but comes here monthly, I think you’re right with the duplicate of the British one.
Many thanks.

As spanish residents with assets in spain and UK we have an English will for UK assets, and Spanish will for assets in Spain. Each one refers to the other to keep things transparent (we hope).
In my experience with aged friends and relatives, you never know how good a will is until it's too late!

Many thanks, our solicitor in UK suggested that both will to provide reference to avoid issues.
The solicitor here can clarify the reference during my consultation by the end of the week.
Kind regards
