Starting November 13, 2025, banking fees related to inheritance procedures in France will be capped at a maximum of 850 euros. This new regulation aims to protect families from excessive charges often referred to as "taxes on mourning." The measure has been welcomed as a progressive step towards easing the financial burden on heirs during succession processes. Meanwhile, in Spain, the tax agency has been forgiving all debts below a certain threshold, although the exact amount was not specified. Separately, a local council in the UK withdrew plans to introduce a "fat tax" on larger burial plots following public opposition.
