05 — Questions

What people ask us before they instruct us

That is our first choice: to put mediated solutions on the table and defend your rights against the other heirs as amicably as possible. Contested proceedings are always the last resort.

We handle both bringing the claim and defending you against any claim brought against you in connection with the estate.

Divorce, custody, contact arrangements, adoption, maintenance and the winding up of matrimonial property regimes, as well as wills and family estates.

The one that opens up when there is no will, or it is void or names no heir: the law designates the heirs (descendants, ascendants, spouse, collateral relatives and, ultimately, the State) and it is formalised through a declaration of heirs.

No. We approach each individual need as an individual problem and look for creative solutions that unblock situations that look impossible.

More about family and succession law

Inheritance specialists

Inheritance is a complicated process from several points of view. Emotionally, because of all the family ties involved, and legally. Problems often arise over dividing and allocating an estate that call for a more professional, better qualified view, able to put mediated solutions on the table. That is always our first choice as inheritance lawyers.

With that in mind, our main aim is clear: to defend your rights against the other heirs as amicably as possible. Going to court is always our last option. Where it cannot be avoided, however, we handle both bringing the claim and defending you against any claim brought against you in connection with the estate. We are inheritance specialists. You are in good hands.

Lawyers expert in family law

The law firm Escalera & Tuset was founded with a very clear resolve: to meet in full the needs of everyone who comes to us. To do that, we understood very early on, we had to know each individual area of law in depth. We had to be specialists. We had to have a department dedicated exclusively to each administrative and legal branch. That is why at Escalera & Tuset you will not be putting yourself in the hands of general practitioners, but of family lawyers.

Legal professionals with a long track record in advice and legal support in family law. Our family law experts offer a service of the highest standard in matters as complex as divorce, custody, contact arrangements, adoption, maintenance and the winding up of matrimonial property regimes. And, of course, in everything to do with wills and family estates.

Do you need inheritance specialists alongside you? Our experience and our knowledge let us read each case sensibly and accurately. They also let us set out the right strategies and solutions and put them into practice with judgement. As we said above, inheritance can become a very complicated and exhausting process. But you do not have to go through it alone. It is far easier with expert professionals beside you.

Do you need inheritance lawyers?

The experience built up by each of the professionals in the family law department at Escalera & Tuset is one of the things we add. So is the knowledge that comes from that key policy of specialising. But at our firm of inheritance lawyers there is another great addition: our modern focus on the client. At Escalera & Tuset you will never be just another case, just another client. We approach each individual need as an individual problem.

On that score, at our practice you will not find off-the-shelf answers to problems connected with family and succession law. Knowing that law in detail is essential to finding the most effective solutions, but we also need to get involved in a way that is unique to each case and to sketch out the creative solutions that unblock situations that look impossible. Whatever the scenario, there is always a bad option, a good option and the best option. Let us take you to that last one.

Also in civil law

The criminal department covers everything from minor offences to defence in proceedings involving remand in custody.
