It’s common for two or more people to inherit a property in Tenerife. While this can work smoothly, it sometimes creates disagreements or delays. Here’s how the process works and how to keep things simple when several heirs are involved.
All Heirs Must Agree Before Selling
The property cannot be sold unless every heir signs the sale documents. If one person refuses, the sale cannot proceed.
Ways to solve disagreements
- One heir buys the others out
- Set a minimum price everyone agrees on
- Use a mediator to settle disagreements
- Request a professional valuation
Most families eventually agree once the practical and financial benefits are clear.
You Must Complete Probate First
No property can be marketed or sold until the inheritance has been officially accepted and registered in the heirs’ names.
Heirs Living Abroad
If heirs live in different countries, they can sign a power of attorney so that one person — or a lawyer — handles everything on their behalf. This is the easiest way to sell quickly.
Once the inheritance is sorted, selling the property is just like any normal Tenerife resale.
