The interview with Meritxell Gabarró, a lawyer specializing in wills and inheritances, published in the Ara newspaper, addresses the challenges that may arise when an estate is equally divided among the children in a will. Gabarró explains that, although this is a common practice, this type of division can lead to family conflicts and, in the long run, may end up being more costly. Dividing the estate equally among heirs, especially when it includes real estate such as apartments or houses, often leads to disagreements, as the children may not agree on what to do with these assets.

In the interview, Gabarró highlights that effective estate planning should consider the individual circumstances of each heir, as well as the associated tax implications, to ensure proper preparation and improvement. She also recommends appointing an executor to ensure the deceased’s wishes are carried out correctly and to prevent potential family disputes. The professional further explains that a well-thought-out tax strategy can minimize inheritance taxes and avoid unpleasant surprises. Beyond technical issues, she shares her perspective on the social and familial aspects of certain topics that are often considered taboo, which she addresses with cheerful naturalness and overflowing assertiveness, in the words of journalist Laura Serra.
