Re: Dying intestate
I don't know if this is any help at all, but this is a sentance in a letter to a Uk solicitor from an abogado for a case that seems similar to this one.
"Mr X has not made a Spanish Will, so we need the English Probate with the Apostille of the Hague Convention and translated into Spanish in order to make the deeds of the half of the house into the name of Mrs X and then register into the Land Registry."
Possibly this is your missing documentation. I had to look it up and I think this will help: www.apostille.org.uk
Good Luck
Meant to add, the cost is only 59.79 GBP + VAT, and according to the website Spain will accept the Apostille Certificate in place of any further legalisation

I am sure Sue and her colleagues will do the best they can

Re: Dying intestate
The resolution involved the British solicitors having to liaise with the British Embassy in Lisbon to provide the necessary documents for the Portugese.
I wonder, therefore, whether the British Embassy in Madrid could advise you and, hopefully, be involved to bring about a solution for you. Worth a try?
