Hi Everyone,

And thank you very much for all the replies and advice.

Just to update:

My father is British, has a UK property and lived all his live in the UK.  My real mother died and my father re-married.

My step mother has one daughter

My father bought the Spanish property which they went to 4 times a year.

Just some exact notes from his will (prepared by will writers):

I W**** D****** (date of birth 27 April 19**) ot 17 S******** Street ***** ***** YO8 8YO REVOKE all former wills and testamentary dispositions and DECLARE this to be my last will ('my Will')

In my Will where the context so admits:

          (a)  'my Estate' shall mean:
                     (i)  All my real and personal property of every kind wherever situate including all property of every kind wherever situate over which I have a general power of appointment and ...........

The UK will was made 6 months after the Spanish will

So thank you again for all the information - this realy means a lot to me

Thread: Transferring property into sole name

Not sure where to post this, so i post it here.

My father have passed away and he owns in joint names with his wife a Spanish property and a UK property.  They have also created  a will stating what happens to the Spanish property when he dies.

Now this is the issue.  He created a will in the UK 6 months after the spanish will which states: his property in the UK and abroad will be put into trust, thus meaning the UK will now superceeds the spanish will.

My question is can his wife go to spain and transfer the spanish property into her name to make it not form part of the probate process in the UK.

Any suggestions much appreciated
