We have an apartment in Cambrils and understand that we need a Spanish will in addition to our wills back home in UK. For anyone know who can do this for us? 

Thank

Hi.

We use a solicitors in Tarragona.

Vahusari on the Rambla Nova.

They speak many languages including English.

Very professional.

My only advise on making a will is take professional advise, please remember in Spain if you don't ask specific questions they won't volunteer information.

Be clear which law you want to apply to the Spanish estate. I.e. Spanish or english law.

Spanish law doesn't allow you to disinherit your children.

Do you want this will to only cover your Spanish assets?

You should ask about inheritance tax, Catalunya has high rates of tax including for family members.

You should ask about the implications of Brexit, assuming your UK citizens.

To be honest, depending on your personal circumstances- there could be a lot more things.

I hope it helps.

Good luck.
