Estate Planning in Costa Blanca
Estate planning involves planning how a person’s assets will be managed and distributed immediately after his or her death. First, the management of an individual’s property in Costa Blanca and financial obligations must be considered.
Assets in Costa Blanca that constitute the estate include all assets that the individual has or is able to show that they belong to him (houses in Altea, cars, paintings, life insurance, pensions, debts…).
The most normal step in estate planning involves drawing up a Will in Notary. A will is a legal document created to give instructions on how and in what manner an individual’s assets and custody of minor children, if any, are to be treated after death. The individual expresses his or her wishes through the document and appoints a person (executor) whom he or she trusts to carry out the stated intentions.
The authenticity of a will is determined through a legal process known as probate. Probate is the first step in administering a deceased person’s estate and distributing the property to the beneficiaries. When a person dies, the custodian of the will must take the will to probate court or to the executor named in the will within 30 days after the death of the testator.

Three matters resolved in just over a week. Alfonso Soler grasps the problem instantly, provides excellent honest advice and guidance. Not everyday one finds a great Lawyer.
I wish to thank wholeheartedly for the attention it has given me. The court's decision against me was positively satisfying. I owe it only because of CFL's professionalism. Not speaking Spanish I was having serious worries. But I must admit, thanks to the perfect follow-up of the file by my lawyer with a return in Spanish, in English easy to understand and also in French: no detail escaped them. thank you very much.
I heard about them through a mutual friend, and I’m so glad I ended up working with them. Very focused and determined about their work. They won’t let you down, they get work done.
The attention and how they have behaved with me has been excellent and they have solved my problem fast and effective.

Alfonso had handled my inheritance for me and done everything to our complete satisfaction and in a short time professionally. Recommended top lawyer.
Highly recommended. I want to thank Alfonso and his team for such a great job and efforts. I will definitely come back to him if needed in future!
It's very difficult to find a lawyer here in Spain that is a dedicated professional that speaks fluent English, but with Alfonso this is not an issue. A good friend recommended him to deal with a very complex property case. His dedication and preseverance achieved us the best outcome. I Definitely would recommend him to fellow Expats living here in Spain.
Alfonso Soler dealt with a criminal case for me involving various court visits, a trial, and appeals over a period of years (I was not the criminal!).

Unlike many other firms, the lawyer here informed us when something was changing or step by step what to do. In Spain you rarely see compulsion and punctuality. Thank you for your help!

Faqs
What is Estate Planing?
Estate planning is the preparation of tasks and jobs that are used to manage a person’s assets in the event of his or her death or total or partial disability. Planning includes the study of the case at hand, the bequest of assets to heirs, and the assessment of inheritance taxes. At CLF we strongly recommend that these types of arrangements are always supervised by a law firm specializing in inheritance law.
How important is to choose an apropiate proxecutor?
The court-approved legal representative or executor is responsible for locating and overseeing all assets of the deceased. The executor must estimate the value of the estate using the value date of the death or the alternative valuation date as provided in the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
A list of assets to be valued during the estate includes retirement accounts, bank accounts, stocks and bonds, real estate, jewelry, and any other items of value. Most of the property that is subject to administration of the estate is under the supervision of the probate court where the decedent lived at the time of death. The exception is real estate. You must probate real estate in the county where it is located.
The executor must also pay the taxes and debts of the deceased person on the estate. Claims that are rejected by the executor can be taken to court, where an estate judge will have the final say on whether the claim is valid or not.
The executor is also responsible for filing the final tax return on behalf of the deceased. Any outstanding estate taxes will be paid within nine months of the date of death.
Estate tax planning.
State taxes on an inheritance can significantly reduce its value before the assets are distributed to the beneficiaries. Death can result in large responsibilities for the family, requiring generational transfer strategies that can reduce, eliminate or postpone taxes.
During the estate planning process, there are significant steps that individuals and married couples can take to reduce the impact of these taxes, which is why we will always recommend that you visit an attorney who can assist you with this type of consultation.
