Who needs need an N.I.E ?

The Spanish authorities require that all people who have assets in Spain, both Residents and Non Residents have a N.I.E. (Numero de Identificacion Extranjero) which is a foreigners' identity number.

Without it you will struggle to cope with "THE SYSTEM".

Do the Beneficiaries in a Spanish Will need an N.I.E. ?

If you own a property in Spain and you have made a Spanish Will in which your beneficiaries are your son, daughter, other relations or just a friend. . . then they need an  N.I.E. - (Foreign Identification number ).

In the case of a death, it is an obligatory requirement for the processing of any tax documentation and for identification in an Inheritance Procedure. The numbers are issued by the National Police and an application has to be made in person. Download Form here NIE Form
