Do beneficiaries have to be in Spain during the probate process?
No. The Spanish probate process is based on personal attendance and can be extremely time intensive. For that reason, we conduct our cases under Powers of Representation (granted to one of our fully qualified and accredited Spanish case lawyers). For beneficiaries who are not based in Spain, we also have established arrangements for execution of the Power of Representation in your home country, which makes it unnecessary for beneficiaries to have to come to Spain, where it would otherwise be inconvenient.
