Yes! If you want to have any influence over the disposal of your remains. Regards, :eek: John. |
Re: Dying
I cant decide either way, so I think burial at sea is a good compromise. I have written to seafrance (as they are cheap) to see if I can be lobbed off the bows in the middle of the channel and then everyone can go for a meal in the seafarers restaurant.

My partner is a Gilder (Laying of Gold Leaf) he Gilds Funeral Urns for humans and pets for people who want to have a Keepsake. |

Also we have talked about the children if any accidents were to occur with them and what we would do. We are going to make wills in english and spanish, as we have been told the english wills out there are not worth a great deal. :) |

we want each other to have it all untill we are both gone and then the kids have it then ? |

I suspect that it depends on whether Spanish or UK law applies to you on your demise, which probably depends on where you are considered to be resident at the time. Then again it may be that it depends on your citizenship, irrespective of where you are resident, so long as you have both an English and Spanish will (that tally with each other so that the will is recognised in both countries). If you fall under Spanish law, I believe that you will find that your children must inherit a minimum proportion of your estate, by law, upon your demise. i.e. Your surviving spouse cannot inherit all the estate. There are also the much higher levels of inheritance tax that one has to pay under Spanish law and the less favourable surviving spouse inheritance conditions - if I'm not mistaken (which I may well be, as I have yet to research the subject properly). I'm assuming that if you are resident in Spain (irrespective of whether your will will operate on the basis of English law where your spouse can inherit all) then your Spanish assets fall due to Spanish taxation regardless. Hopefully, someone out there can educate us both ;) |
