In the previous post, we explained the assumptions that may arise in an inheritance of non-residents, when the deceased is not resident in Spain and has assets in Spain, or the deceased is not resident in Spain and has no assets in Spain.

As a brief summary of the previous post, we will keep in mind the following points:

To know the residence of the deceased and therefore know the regional law to be applied, it will be necessary to take into account the greatest number of days where the deceased has lived during the period of five years immediately from the day before his death, which it is computed from date to date.

When the deceased and their heirs are residents of Spain, the inheritance law of the region where the deceased resides will tax the totality of the assets, whether in Spain or not.

In the event that the deceased is resident in Spain and their heirs are non-resident in Spain and there are no assets in Spain, then no inheritance tax is paid in Spain.

The law of successions applicable in these cases will depend on whether or not the heirs are residents of a country belonging to the U.E. or the EEA.
In the present post, as a continuation of the previous one, we will analyse the possible scenarios that may arise when the Deceased is resident in Andalusia.

Possible scenarios that can be produced when the deseased is Resident in Andalucia.

A.1. When the heirs are non-residents in Spain, but are residents in a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area:

If the deceased had his residence in Andalusia and his heirs were non-residents in Spain, but are residents in a conuntry of the European Union or the EEA, then the Andalusian inheritance law can be applied and will tax only on the goods in Spain.

Example nº 1:

A German dies while residing in Marbella (Andalusia), and his heirs are residents in Austria. The estate is made up of the following assets: a house in Austria valued at € 1,000,000 and a house in Marbella valued at € 2,000,000.
The heirs must be taxed in Spain on all the assets in Spanish territory, that is 2,000,000 €, being able to benefit from the inheritance tax of Andalusia.

A.2. The heirs do not reside in Spain and are residents in a country that is NOT a member of the European Union or of the European Economic Area:

In the event that the deceased is resident in Andalusia and his heirs are NOT residents in an EU country or of the EEA, the central government inheritance law must be applied.

Example nº 2:

A English citizen dies when he is resident in Malaga (Andalusia), his heirs reside in Russia. Being the total of the estate: a house in France valued at € 1,000,000, a plot of land in Estepona (Malaga) valued at € 300,000, a villa in Malaga valued at 1,700,000 € and a vehicle valued at € 50,000.
In this case, the heirs will only have to pay for the inheritance tax in Spain for the goods located in Spain, that is, for a total of € 2,050,000, without being able to benefit from the Andalusian law.
