Hi,

Thanks for all the responses.

They did have Spanish wills in place thankfully. The Spanish property was a holiday home so non-resident status applies. I have sent the death certificate with an 'apostille' so far and now seem to have quite a mounting bill for costs to transfer the property to the other name.

Is this a complicated process ie. warranting high legal fees/notary fee etc?

Advice really appreciated,

Thanks,

Hi,

Please can somebody advise me. One of my parents recently died leaving me to organise the trasnfer of ownership to the other and all other details -- inheritance tax, transfer of bank.

I am horrified at all the associated costs. Can anybody advise me what a resonable solicitor fee would be for this type of work.

THanks,
