What about an apartment that was abandoned because of the owner's death in Spain!

 

There are firms dedicated to finding heirs of property. In recent times, heritage properties in Spain have become luxurious for many because of the high taxes to be paid. In 2019, the state pocketed some EUR 50 million in unclaimed heritage. In Spain, 45,000 heritages were abandoned that same year, simply because they were not affordable. real estate agents in qatar

There is no doubt that the valuable asset in heritage is the property or property of the deceased; these, however, are the properties which bring the most headaches for all involved.

It is currently estimated that around 3 million homes have been abandoned in Spain, and a good share is more than likely to be attributable to the death of the owner.

Problems of a property abandoned

In many cases, a person dies without will and without close members of the family. So what happens to your apartment when this is the case? Nothing, and that's the biggest problem. With no one claiming their rights to the apartment, problems for neighbors and property managers can often result.

First of all, the most common problem in an abandoned apartment is the accumulation of debts that can be a subject of great concern to a residential development block and the "Community of neighbours" over months and even years (residents association). This may be an even more serious problem if the residential block is small with consequences that could lead to ruin.

An abandoned flat is an unattended flat that can generate bad smells, deterioration and damage due to discontinuity or dampness. The worst role is taken by the neighbors, who therefore show the President or the administrator of the residents association their complaints and discontent.

In addition, a lot of speech and complaints take a lot of time, and the longer time passes, the more risk the property becomes misplaced, for example by squatters. Something like this would paralyze any judiciary proceedings on property, apart from the added security problem for neighbours, who are again the worst affected by all this.

The solution is to find the heirs

Today, there are companies dedicated to family trees and the genealogy of succession, which consists of the study and monitoring of a deceased person's descendants in order to find legitimate heirs.

"Heirs exist," says Alicia Delicado, director of Group Hereda's Research Departement, "perhaps he is distant relatives who lose contact and we're responsible for finding them, researching, documenting and developing a family tree that ultimately leads us to the successor."

Acceptance of the inheritance and the change in ownership by the heir open up a new world of possibilities for the property which can range from being sold to new owners and settlement of all arrears with the same heritage.

So companies like this help the heir not only to provide him with a heritage that he did not know about, but at the same time help him to find the new owner and to recover his existing debt.
