CIM Tax & Legal analyses the succession consequences of the Andic case in elEconomista

The arrest of Jonathan Andic has sparked an intense public debate focused primarily on the criminal consequences. However, there are implications in the area of succession law that deserve equal attention, especially given the magnitude of the estate at stake.

Cristina Bilbao, lawyer and manager, and Emma S. Corretger, lawyer, economist and partner at CIM Tax & Legal, address precisely these issues in an opinion article published in elEconomista. A technical and rigorous analysis that sheds light on legal aspects that the public debate has left in the background.

The article focuses on the concept of unworthiness to inherit, established in the Catalan Civil Code, which strips the right to inherit in cases specifically defined by law, regardless of the testator's wishes, and which requires a final criminal conviction as an indispensable condition.

The authors explain how the effects of this legal concept vary depending on whether the inheritance has been accepted or not, what happens to the assets and the fruits generated during the period of possession, and to whom they would fall in this specific case, bearing in mind that the grounds for unworthiness are not passed on to descendants. The article also raises an important tax question: what happens to the taxes that were settled at the time?

To read the full analysis, with all its legal nuances and reflections on the current regulatory framework, we invite you to read the complete article in elEconomista.
