    If you choose to request the procedure online, follow these steps

    From bbva.es (computer or cell phone) or the BBVA app, access the user space. Remember that to request the service online, you must register in this BBVA space for non-customers. If you don't want to do so, you can process the inheritance at a branch.
    From bbva.es (computer or cell phone) or the BBVA app, go to the link you will find in the Global Position or in the side menu, in the operations section.
    From bbva.es (computer or cell phone) or the BBVA app, fill in any missing or new contact details if necessary. Remember that your email address must be validated. 
    From bbva.es (cell phone only) or the BBVA app, go to Inheritance Processing, even if you have started the process from your computer. If your identity document is a passport or NIE (document without photo), you must go to a BBVA branch so that we can identify you and continue processing your inheritance there.
    From your computer, log into your personal area at bbva.es and continue with the process by providing the necessary documentation.

    These are the stages of the process that we will follow together

    • 1. Notification of death

      Death certificate sent to the bank to confirm the death.

    • 2. Certificate of positions

      A document is obtained that includes the products and balances held by the deceased at BBVA as of the date of his/her death.

    • 3. Documentation for the distribution

      Documentation is provided with the distribution instructions, as agreed by the heirs.

    Whether you want to process the inheritance at a branch or online, this is the documentation you will have to provide.
    • Death certificate.
    • Certificate of last will and testament.
    • Will or Record of Common Knowledge or Declaration of Heirs.
    • Document of acceptance and awarding of the inheritance.
