How we work

Initial steps – to confirm which services you will need, which type of title transfer is most viable, and decide the best procedure to move forward, along with clearly defined costing.

Listings of assets and supporting documentation compiled and checked in advance – We meticulously check each item, deed and document is correctly listed and translated, to avoid any unpleasant surprises or delays once the inheritance process starts.

Management of all required appointments when documentation has to be presented in person

Progress tracking – our team will be in frequent contact with all parties to complete the process in the shortest time possible, and will keep you updated along the way

Dedicated member of our team available throughout the process to answer any questions or solve any problems

Full legal and administrative management in one company – we manage every step for an obstacle-free experience. If you need help with any related legal issues beyond estate succession and inheritance tax, from business to residency or family visa related issues, our departments will seamlessly coordinate to offer you solutions.

What are the requirements

The process of inheritance in Spain can be complex, which is why we fully manage all of the administrative process and legal documentation:

The requeriments

Power of Attorney authorization if parties are not able to attend meetings in person

Hague Apostille translations of all identification documents, marriage and birth certificates

The heir(s) will need a Spanish NIE (foreign resident identification number) – we can arrange this on your behalf if you don’t already have one

The death certificate is an essential legal document that certifies the death of a person. This official record is issued by the competent authorities and provides crucial information for the management of post-mortem legal and administrative matters. Generally, the death certificate includes details such as the deceased’s full name, date and place of birth, date and cause of death, and information about the person reporting the death.

Banking documentation and account statements are essential for personal and business financial management. These documents provide a detailed record of transactions made in a bank account and are essential for accurate control of finances.

Calculation and filing of all associated costs and taxes that are applicable in the case

Managing the transfer of property with the land registry department where necessary

Conducting the necessary legal changes to contracts and deeds

We can't thank Alex, Agustina, and Sofia enough for all their help obtaining our visas and our apartment. The entire process was daunting, but they walked us through step-by-step. We had a lot of questions but they were so incredibly kind and patient. ¡Muchas gracias!

I am now a spanish resident on the digital nomad visa thanks to Vera, Carolina and Pilar from Carbray. Vera and Carolina were incredibly supportive in helping me get together the documents I needed, meticulously spotting missing signatures and communicating clearly throughout the entire process. Pilar supported with my successful application for Beckham's law. Due to a misunderstanding in how long I had to apply, she took this on very last minute and even spoke on the phone spanish officials at one of my appointments to make it happen in time. I would definitely recommend. Thanks all 🧡

We worked with Cabray and got approved for digital nomad visas in Spain. A great result - we were so happy we did a little dance. Thanks to Ernest and the team for facilitating our move and family adventure!

I had a fantastic experience working with Nerea for help on my visa, and will be returning to work with her for future renewals. Carbray International has a very helpful and knowledgeable team and came highly recommended. I also highly recommend them, especially for digital nomad and other specialty visa situations. Gracias!

Carbray International has been extremely helpful in helping us obtain residency in Spain and getting our Spanish passports. The process would have been much more difficult (and possibly impossible) without their guidance. We cannot thank them enough for their guidance and patience throughout the process. I highly recommend partnering with them and tapping into their services. A special thank you and shout out to Alex Parfen and Sofia Grondona of the Carbray International team!
