Estate Planning: Ensure the Future of Your Assets
Inheritance law is one of the most complex areas of the legal field, as it defines what will happen to a person’s assets after their death. This often creates conflicts between those who believe they have a legitimate right to part or all of the deceased’s estate. The situation is further complicated by elements such as companies, trusts, or funds created abroad.
Furthermore, Law 41/2003 introduces a concept called “specially protected assets of persons with disabilities.” This type of estate is designed to ensure the well-being of persons with disabilities and provide peace of mind to their parents and family members when planning for the future. The law provides a simple method for creating this estate, allowing for gratuitous contributions of assets and rights for the benefit of persons with disabilities.
Concepts such as vacant estate, community of heirs, legitime, improvement, collation, and division of assets require in-depth technical knowledge and careful legal consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions about Inheritance Law
Protected Assets are a legal instrument of great interest to people with physical, sensory, or intellectual disabilities. They are a solution for the economic protection of these individuals, comprised of assets and rights intended to meet their basic needs. To establish them, a certificate proving a disability of 33% or 65% or greater, depending on the type of disability, issued by regulation or by a final court ruling, is required. This way, for example, parents can link certain assets to meeting the basic needs of a person with a disability without having to make a donation (which would have a higher tax cost) or a sale, and without waiting for the assets to be transferred through inheritance.
Managing an international inheritance involves coordinating with lawyers and authorities in the countries where the properties are located. This may include processing legal documents and complying with local inheritance laws. Our team is experienced in managing international inheritances and can help you navigate these complex processes to ensure a smooth and compliant transition.
Collaborative legal counsel is an approach in which all parties involved work together, with the support of their attorneys, to reach an agreement without resorting to litigation, relying on its legal effectiveness before a notary. This method stands out for its ability to resolve conflicts confidentially and effectively, avoiding the high emotional cost, lengthy time, and lack of privacy that often accompany traditional court proceedings. By focusing on cooperation and dialogue, collaborative legal counsel seeks a respectful resolution tailored to the needs of all parties, while ensuring the protection of your rights and those of your family.
A will is a legal document in which a person establishes how their assets and property should be distributed after their death. Having a will is crucial because it ensures your estate is distributed according to your wishes and can prevent conflicts between heirs. It also streamlines the legal process and can reduce inheritance taxes.
