Hello everyone 

Please can anyone give me any information on making a will. I do have a Spanish will but need to make an English Will for the UK.  I do not have anything in the UK only a bank account.  I only need a simple Will as I only have one child and want him to have what I have.

Any information would be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time 

Sue 😘

Consider authorizing you child of your UK account. Problem is that in the worst case your heir will have to pay succession tax both in Spain AND UK.

I only have a Spanish will but have noted what will happen to my bank account and my investments. I don't have a UK Will. All was done by a solicitor in Spain
