Planning for the Future – Powers of Attorney in England and Spain
Join us for a practical seminar focused on how to protect your interests through effective legal planning in both England and Spain.
We will be discussing Powers of Attorney (Poderes Preventivos) and also the impacts of making lifetime gifts, both in the UK and Spain.
Whether you are a Brit living in Spain, have assets in Spain and/or England, or split your life between both countries, it is vital to know how your affairs will be handled if you find yourself needing assistance, or in the unfortunate circumstances of being unable to make decisions for yourself in the future.
Powers of Attorney (in England) and Poderes Preventivos (in Spain) act as legal safeguards to ensure your affairs can be dealt with by a third party, even in cases of incapacity — but many people don’t realise that an English Power of Attorney may not be recognised in Spain, and vice versa. Without the right arrangements in place across both jurisdictions, your loved ones could face unnecessary stress, delays, and costly legal hurdles when trying to act on your behalf.
You may also be concerned about Inheritance Tax and the costs of long-term care both in the UK and in Spain, and we will be looking at the pros and cons of lifetime giving for the purpose of mitigated these expenses, as well as exploring other tools that may be available to you as an alternative.
At this free seminar, we will guide you through:
- How LPAs work in both England and Spain and their importance
- Practical steps you can take now to protect your future
- The taxation and other impacts of making lifetime gifts
- Estate planning tools available to you as an alternative to making lifetime gifts
- The restrictions on attorneys in respect of lifetime giving
Who should attend? Anyone with assets or family interests in both England and Spain, or those simply looking to understand how to protect themselves and their loved ones legally and financially.
