Thinking about a will is not thinking about death: it is thinking about the peace of mind of the people you love. A well-planned will avoids doubts and disputes, and ensures your wishes are carried out.
The law sets some limits: for example, it protects part of the estate for certain relatives — the so-called forced share (legítima). That is why it is worth getting advice before you decide.
Our director’s notarial training allows the firm to advise you with a complete perspective: we explain your options, review the documents and support you up to the execution of the will, which takes place before the appropriate notary (escribano). The firm advises; it does not execute notarial acts.
When is it worth getting advice?
- You want to leave a particular asset to a specific person.
- You have children from different relationships.
- You want to protect a relative with a disability.
- You want to leave something to someone who is not your heir.
- You want to organize your estate to avoid disputes.

Frequently asked questions
Can I leave everything to just one person?
It depends on your family. If you have forced heirs, such as children or a spouse, the law reserves part of the estate for them — the forced share (legítima). We explain what you can freely dispose of in your case.
Does the firm draw up the will?
The firm advises you and prepares the way. A public will is executed before a notary (escribano) who holds a notarial registry, and we support you through that step.
Can I write my will by hand?
Yes. A holographic (handwritten) will must be written, dated and signed entirely in the testator's own hand. It has strict requirements, so it is worth getting advice to make sure it is valid.
Can I change my will later?
Yes. A will can be revoked or amended at any time.
