Yes the boys have NIE numbers but the IBI bill is paid direct debit from our account and addressed to my husband what I am worried about is we want to continue paying IBI etc, the boys havnt paid any taxes because we r paying property taxes. And if we wanted to sell the apt we can't because boys are named owners they wouldn't mind if we did there would be no probs.we owned the house for 2 yrs then gifted it over.

We gifted our apt to our 2 sons paid all the taxes,made Spanish wills, got the NIE numbers back in 2006.we done this because we was told if we died the children would have to pay IHT before they could even step into the apt. Well our boys are not financially well off so we choose to pay upfront.but now the bag of worms has opened,we told our solicter that we would continue to pay all taxes as we are still living in the house under the usufruto rule.we requested from the land registry proof of owners on the deeds last week.the boys are the owners bearing in mind they are non residents.we r fiscal residents and there is no debt on the property.but the thing being the boys as owners should be paying non residents tax.they have no bank account , and no income in Spain .does anyone have advice as to how I should go about fixing this
