Receiving an inheritance: is it a problem?
At the loss of a loved one, the last thing we think about is having to deal with bureaucracy, taxes, even family disagreements about a will.
For this reason, at Cardador y Marín we are committed to treat the situation appropriately, with understanding, empathy and transparency about the whole process.
Our legal advice on inheritance and succession offers you the peace of mind of being backed by committed experts.
Succession planning: The best legacy is peace of mind
We often think of the estate attorney when the death has already occurred, but the real tax optimization begins much earlier. At Cardador y Marín, we help our clients design an intelligent inheritance strategy so that, when the time comes, their loved ones do not have to face unnecessary tax burdens or avoidable conflicts.
A correct configuration of the will and the use of preventive legal formulas allow maximizing the tax benefits in force in Andalusia. We analyze your particular estate to propose solutions such as living donation, usufruct or the structuring of specific bequests, ensuring that your will is fulfilled with the lowest possible tax bill for your heirs. To plan today is to protect your family’s tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to pay my taxes?
You have six months to pay the taxes from the time of death. However, these six months may be extended for another six months, for a total of one year, if circumstances permit.
How long can the total inheritance process take?
This question is as common as it is difficult to answer. Inheritances are very different from one another, and the circumstances surrounding the inheritance will determine how long the process takes. It can range from six months to several years in the case of a contentious case.
At Cardador y Marín we can advise you and help you from the first moment until the last necessary step.
What happens if there is no will?
At Cardador y Marín we manage the declaration of heirs so that the process is legal, orderly and efficient, turning something that can be complicated into a procedure as comfortable as possible for the whole family.
How much can this type of procedure cost?
The total cost of an inheritance proceeding usually represents a percentage of the valuation of the assets reflected in the inheritance. The greater the number of assets and heirs, the more complex the procedure will be. The percentages usually vary between 3% and 10%.
Can an inheritance be waived?
Yes, it is possible to renounce an unwanted inheritance. At Cardador y Marín we advise you on the whole process and if the resignation is the most convenient for you and your family.
