Intestate Succession (Intestacy)

If a person dies without a valid will, the rules of intestate succession apply. In Spain, the law dictates the order of heirs, prioritising descendants, then ascendants, then the spouse, and finally collateral relatives.

Navigating intestacy can be complex and time-consuming, involving declarations of heirs and additional bureaucracy. Having a will is the best way to avoid this.
