SUCCESSIONS AND DONATIONS. INHERITANCES.

Inheritance and Donations law, as well as Inheritance law, is the branch of law that regulates what happens to a person’s assets when they die.

Said Inheritance and Donations law studies how to transfer said assets to the heirs. This Inheritance and Donation law foresees and collects what happens to the assets and how it is transferred to the heirs, whether the deceased granted a will or not.

Rights as important as the legitimacy of parents, children and spouses are regulated. What parts of the estate can be freely disposed of what parts cannot. The law of Inheritance and Donations also tells us what rules apply in the event that there is no will.

In addition, the Inheritance and Donation law of the Balearic Islands is unique and different from the rest of Spain, with what is known as the Balearic Civil law, where, among other figures, there is the famous succession agreement of the definition (an advance of the legitimate in life that can only be done in the Balearic Islands).

All these figures require application not only of Inheritance and Donation law but also Tax law that is applicable.

Finally, it is important to bear in mind that when an heir accepts an inheritance, they are also accepting the obligations and debts that the deceased had. This implies that in many cases it is important to study whether the inheritance is accepted or rejected.
