La Vanguardia has published the article “The financial impact of getting married or not,” which analyses the legal, economic and inheritance differences between marriage and civil partnerships.

In this interview, Meritxell Gabarró explains the key differences between being married or not and underlines the importance of understanding the legal implications before making decisions that may affect future inheritance.

Key takeaways:

✅In Catalonia, married couples and registered partners have equal inheritance rights and the same tax treatment.

✅Eligibility criteria for the widow’s pension differ between marriages and civil partnerships.

✅It is essential to plan and formalize legal aspects through a will, a notarised partnership agreement, or at least registration in a public registry.

Sharing life with someone is a personal decision, but knowing the legal consequences is key to protecting yourself and your partner.

We thank Raquel Quelart for her trust in our Director, who provided expert advice on a topic relevant to both married and cohabiting couples.
