Brexit has changed many things, but it hasn’t removed the ability for British citizens to use English law in their Spanish wills. However, it’s more important than ever to update your documents.
Key reasons to update your will post-Brexit:
- Ensure continued clarity around the applicable law.
- Reflect changes in family structure, assets, or residence.
- Incorporate new wording to comply with any updated legal interpretations.
Failing to update your will could lead to delays, disputes, or your estate being distributed according to Spanish law by default.
Advice: Schedule a review of your will every 3–5 years or after major life events (marriage, property purchase, etc.).
