hiiiiiiii,


My Mom passed away a few months ago and my father already remarried. .... DO NOT sign it over. It sounds like the new wife wants the money.

Ok you need legal help - the death certificate has to be shown to a notary and papers signed to update the house in the local land registry. It is best, despite this being a difficult time for you, to arrange this sooner rather than later. You will also need to make arrangements with your bank regarding joint accounts etc.

Don’t forget the British Consulate can help you

I don’t think Spanish recognise a British will - Spanish law says that the property passes to the legally married survivor but things can vary region to region you must take professional legal advice.
