Steps to selling an inherited home

Is the property already in your name?

Before you can sell an inherited house, it is essential having legally accepted the inheritance and have done the deed of inheritanceThis procedure is carried out before a notary and, once completed, you will be able to register the property in your name in the Property Registry.

Payment of Inheritance Tax

Gather necessary documentation

The proper formalization of the sale of an inherited property critically depends on having complete and up-to-date documentation. Each document plays an essential role in the legal process. Here are the essential documents:

  • Death Certificate: Essential for initiating any procedure, as it legally certifies the owner's death.
  • Certificate of Last Will and Testament: Key to determining the existence of a will and locating the notary who holds it, thus guiding the next steps of the succession.
  • Will or Declaration of Heirs: The will (if one exists) establishes the beneficiaries. In its absence, the declaration of heirs fulfills this function by identifying the legal successors.
  • Deed of Acceptance and Adjudication of Inheritance: A fundamental notarial document that officially transfers ownership of the property to the heirs, allowing them to legally dispose of it for sale.
  • Settlement of Taxes (Inheritance and Municipal Capital Gains): Proof of compliance with tax obligations (inheritance and gift tax, and municipal capital gains tax) is an essential requirement for proceeding with the sale without future tax issues.
  • Updated Simple Registry Note: It provides official and current information on the ownership of the property and the existence of any encumbrances, offering legal security to both sellers and buyers.
