The death of a relative is a difficult time that can make it even more worse with the paperwork of this event, including inheritance. At such a difficult time, you have to think with the cold head and analyze whether or not to receive the goods left by the deceased, from money in your bank accounts to properties. Do not do it, can even lead to ruin, as has happened to Carmen Rocío, a neighbor of Seville who owes 600,000 euros to the Treasury.
His father died in 2010 and left them a “neighborhood store of a lifetime”, which is what they live, a house and three lands used as an garden. As he said in Ana Rosa Quintana’s program, after death, one day a finance inspector arrived and made them sign a role. Soon, a letter arrived by informing them that they owed 210,000 euros for having accepted the inheritance.

Already then they could not deal with that payment and, not paying that amount, it was rising through all the fines and surcharges that were accumulating. Thus, as he said a few months ago in the aforementioned program, he already owed 600,000 euros. “Even selling everything we stayed on the street,” he said desolate, fear of seeing himself in that situation with a 6 -month -old baby. “Now it is paralyzed, but at the time they tell you you have to go, what do we do?” He added.
“My father has worked hard to raise what he has and now that they take it off and stay on the street”
Carmen Rocío was very excited during the interview, and if the situation is most complex, that feeling is greater when she looks back and sees everything her father struggled: “My father has worked a lot. He has worked too much. And he has asked for many loans to raise what he has. And now above all that they take it off and stay in the street.”
He also explained that he has no way out, because anything he has in his name is going to be seized: “I cannot buy a house because they embark on the house. I cannot rent an apartment because at the moment that in the rent a floor and deliver the money, they take away my money from the floor because I cannot have anything in my name. And I am in a live time,” he explained anguished.
Carmen Rocío was also interviewed in the program of ‘And now Sonsoles’, where she said that she did not know that the Inheritance and Donations Tax had to be paid to receive an inheritance and that no one informed her of it, not even the Finance Inspector who went to visit them: “We did not inform us of any succession tax”, but “they made him sign the paper” and then discovered that it was that tax.
In this last program, a lawyer explained that “before that amount, you have to put yourself in the hands of experts” and that everyone should know the concept of inventory benefit: “Before notary you accept the inheritance, but you can retract later when you know the tax,” concluded this expert.
