Wills are documents in which a person orders the distribution of their assets and rights after their death. They may also include personal content to protect, for example, minor children or a spouse.

In Spain, and depending on the applicable legislation, there are forced heirship limitations that restrict the testator's wishes; the most important, although not the only ones, are in favor of the testator's descendants. The law that determines the existence of these limitations is the one corresponding to the testator (nationality or civil residence) at the time of their death. If they are not of Spanish nationality, it is advisable to make a will if they own assets in Spain.

Documentation required:

• Testator's identity document.

• Personal information including: marital status, place and date of birth, names of parents and whether they are alive or not, spouse's name if applicable, and information about the heirs.
