Will disputes involving expats in Spain

Last Updated on 27th May 2025

We can use ‘virtual mediation’ to resolve a UK Will dispute involving expats in Spain.

If you are an expat in Spain who is involved in an inheritance dispute concerning an estate in England or Wales then contact us today for a free consultation.

‘Virtual mediation’ can now be used to assist expats in Spain to resolve a Will dispute involving an estate in England or Wales. By using ‘virtual mediation’ we are able to resolve inheritance disputes quickly, and cost-effectively, and without the need for you to travel back from Spain.

Mediation is an effective way of resolving Will disputes when a party resides abroad. We have pioneered the use of ‘virtual mediation’ so that parties who are based overseas no longer need to travel back to the UK to attend a mediation in person. Instead, the mediation takes place online, which means that you can take part from the comfort of your own home in Spain.

Will disputes are our ‘bread and butter’. We have a team of specialist lawyers who can bridge the geographical gap between expats living in Spain and their affairs back here in the UK.

Our contentious probate team consists of nine fully qualified lawyers, each working exclusively in this highly specialised area of law. This makes us one of the largest and most experienced Will dispute teams in the country. Our expertise in contentious probate law has been recognised by the Legal 500, the leading independent guide to the legal profession in the UK. In its 2024 edition it had this to say about our team:

“The strengths of the team is their ability to be thoroughly knowledgeable, stand for no nonsense, and do their absolute best for their client.”

The publication also described one of our Will dispute partners, Naomi Ireson, as, “simply perfect”. Naomi is an ACTAPS lawyer who has a 5/5 rating on the independent legal review website, ReviewSolicitors.

We offer a range of funding options to expats living in Spain, including No Win, No Fee.
