1. Case submission
You tell us who passed away, where they lived, who the family members are and what assets there are in Argentina. Copies of any documents you already have help, but are not required at this stage.
2. Preliminary legal assessment
We identify the competent court, the applicable law, the heirs and their shares, and the documents still missing. You receive it in writing, with an estimated timeline and the scope of our work.
3. Documentation and representation
We draft the power of attorney in Spanish. You sign it at an Argentine consulate, or before a local notary with an apostille. In parallel, we tell you which certificates to obtain abroad and in what order, and we obtain the Argentine ones.
Foreign public documents generally need an apostille (or consular legalisation for countries outside the Hague Convention) and, if they are not in Spanish, a translation by an Argentine certified translator. Read the guide.
4. Probate proceedings
We file the succession, follow it daily and report to you at each milestone: publication of the notice, wills registry reports, the declaration of heirs or approval of the will, and the inventory.
5. Distribution, registration or sale
The assets are registered in the heirs' names, divided among them or sold. If you sell, we coordinate the notary, the taxes and the transfer of your share of the proceeds.
Will you need to travel?
In most matters, no. Some steps may still require your presence or an additional formality. We tell you as soon as we see it.
