16 Dec Does Spanish Law regulate the conditions of the Probate of a non-Spanish person in cases of Probates related to assets situated in Spain? (2006-05-21)

The answer is no in what refers to the relevant and substantial legal aspects of the Probate. The Spanish Civil Code (Código Civil) indicates that the national Law of each person at the time of their death will be the one legally governing their inheritance. Only some external formalities and procedures, including taxation if any, will take part in cases of assets situated in Spanish territories.
