A Swiss woman living in Mallorca and a relative living in the Alpine country have initiated a process to claim part of an inheritance left by a 19th-century French millionaire named Esteban Descloux, who married a woman from Menorca some 200 years ago. According to Europa Press, both relatives contacted the Osuna Law Firm, a specialist in these types of cases, to claim their share of a large estate that allegedly includes castles, palaces, houses, rural properties, jewelry and other assets, as well as many works of art.

The wealthy are the main beneficiaries of the tax cuts that Marga Prohens's government has implemented during her term, especially with regard to the reduction in inheritance and gift tax, which has resulted in a loss of €808 million in public accounts over the last two years. An example is the three heirs who saved nearly €55 million in this tax in 2024, while the two who stopped paying €27 million respectively, according to data obtained by the PSIB through a parliamentary question and confirmed by the Ministry of Finance. However, sources within the government maintain that the tax reform also benefits the middle class and ensures that assets "remain in the hands of families on the islands, avoiding the need to sell them."
