We handle the acceptance of the inheritance with the civil lawyer and notary. We choose the correct type (pure and simple, benefit of inventory, right to deliberate or renunciation) based on the assets, the debts, your legal capacity and the deadlines. We identify when a public deed is compulsory (real estate, benefit of inventory, renunciation), calculate your deadlines (if you already hold the estate, 30 days from when you learned you were an heir to request the notarial inventory, art. 1014 CC) and warn you of the ISD (inheritance tax) deadline (6 months from the death).

Legal basis and things to bear in mind

Pure and simple acceptance (art. 998 CC): under the common Civil Code you are also liable with your personal assets (art. 1003 CC); if the deceased had Aragonese, Navarrese or Basque civil residence (vecindad civil), only up to what you inherit. Tacit or express.
Acceptance under benefit of inventory (arts. 1010-1034 CC): liability limited to the inherited assets. Formal inventory before a notary within the deadline. If a guardian or a curator with powers of representation signs, accepting without it requires court authorisation (arts. 224 and 287 CC); and if the judge refuses the parents authorisation to renounce on behalf of the minor, it can only be accepted under benefit of inventory (art. 166 CC).
Right to deliberate (arts. 1010 and 1019 CC): the inventory is drawn up first and, once it is completed, you have 30 days to accept or renounce; if you say nothing, it is deemed accepted purely and simply.
Renunciation (arts. 1008-1009 CC): irrevocable. For minors and persons with support measures it requires court authorisation (arts. 166 and 287 CC).
Art. 1004 CC: until 9 days have passed since the death, no one can bring an action against the heir to make them accept or renounce. After that, any interested party can ask a notary to serve a request: you will have 30 calendar days and, if you remain silent, the inheritance is deemed accepted purely and simply (art. 1005 CC).
Deadline under art. 1014 CC: if you are in possession of assets, you must request the inventory within 30 days from when you learned you were an heir, or the acceptance will be deemed pure and simple.
A public deed is compulsory if: there is real estate (art. 14 LH and 1280.1 CC), except for a sole heir with no forced heirs, who registers with the title of succession; benefit of inventory or renunciation.
After accepting: ISD (inheritance tax) before the CCAA (autonomous region) of the deceased's last residence (modelo 650) within 6 months from the death, extendable by another 6 if requested within the first 5 months, IIVTNU (municipal capital gains tax) if there is urban real estate, Land Registry registration.
Estimated notarial cost: ~250-450 € for the deed + proportional fee ~0,05 % of the assets. Our fee covers the full handling with a civil lawyer.
