Built for expats. By people who understand crossing borders.

What Sucesio is

Sucesio is a digital vault that complements your traditional will — it never replaces it. Where a will distributes legal assets, Sucesio organises and automatically transmits the rest of what your family will need: access to digital accounts, instructions for crypto wallets, copies of key documents, and personal messages for the people who matter to you.

We focus on three layers of inheritance that traditional notarial succession does not address:

• Digital assets — passwords, online accounts, cryptocurrency holdings, hardware wallet locations.
• Physical assets — references to property deeds, jewelry, paper documents, and where to find them.
• Personal legacy — messages to loved ones, family recipes, recommendations, memories — delivered to the right person at the right moment.

Your data is encrypted with AES-256, hosted in Europe (Ireland), and fully GDPR-compliant. Sucesio cannot read what you store. Even Sucesio cannot release it outside the rules you define.

Editorial standards

Our blog covers cross-border estate planning, EU succession law, digital asset inheritance, and personal legacy for expats in Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, and the Benelux. Every article is grounded in primary legal sources.

Sources we use

• EU legislation — Regulation (EU) 650/2012 on cross-border succession, the European Certificate of Succession framework, MiCA and AMLD5 for digital assets.
• Spanish primary sources — the Boletín Oficial del Estado (BOE), guidance from the Agencia Tributaria, the Civil Code, and published notarial practice.
• Portuguese primary sources — the Portuguese Civil Code, RENTEV (the national registry for advance directives), and Portaria guidance on Imposto do Selo for inheritance.
• Court decisions — including the 2014 CJEU ruling on inheritance tax discrimination against non-residents (Case C-127/12).
• Real expat scenarios — anonymised, composite cases drawn from the practical situations our community encounters.

What we are — and what we are not

We are not lawyers, notaries, or tax advisers. We do not provide legal, tax, or financial advice. Our content is informational — designed to help expats understand their situation well enough to have better conversations with the qualified professionals in their country of residence.

For any decision involving your succession, your tax exposure, or the drafting of a will, please consult a notary or lawyer specialised in cross-border succession in your country of residence.
