Successions
Successions: planning and legal management of the family legacy
At Carmen Varela, Abogados de Familia, we offer specialized advice on both testate and intestate successions, both nationally and internationally, with the aim of ensuring an orderly, fair, and secure transfer of family assets.
We intervene both before death, through appropriate succession planning, and afterward, advising on all the necessary procedures for accepting, distributing, or challenging an inheritance. We also pay special attention to the tax implications of each succession, optimizing their impact and avoiding unnecessary conflicts.
We also help families with their own businesses protect their business legacy through tools such as the family protocol, which ensures the continuity and stability of the shared project between generations.
Our approach: order, foresight, and legacy protection
At Carmen Varela, Abogados de Familia, we approach each succession with a preventive, strategic, and humane approach, tailored to the personal, family, and property circumstances of each client.
Our priority is to prevent conflicts, ensure compliance with the deceased’s wishes, and protect the rights of all heirs. To this end, we plan each succession process with legal rigor, paying special attention to any tax, property, and family implications that may arise.
Once the succession has taken place, we intervene swiftly and clearly to manage all legal procedures, whether it involves a simple inheritance, a business succession, or an inheritance with international elements. And in the event of a conflict, we firmly defend our clients’ rights, seeking fair and lasting solutions.
