Afterward

If the person was a foreign national: contact their consulate

Why it matters

Repatriation, foreign-asset estates, and home-country notifications often run through the consulate, and cross-border inheritance can involve another country's law.

How to do it

  1. Contact the deceased's embassy/consulate in Spain.
  2. Ask about death registration in their home country and any repatriation needs.
  3. Cross-border estates (assets in two countries) usually need specialist advice.
