Transfer the house in Italy, does a wife of the owner need to sign anything? My husband recieved a house in Italy from his family during our marriage. The house is solely under his name. Now he wishes to tranfer the house to one of our daughter. Do I ,as a wife, has to sign any paper or need to give a concent?  I live oversea at the moment. Do I need to fly back? Thank you very much for your answer in advance, Regards,Andrea

If your husband received the house as a result of a succession, than it is 100 his - and you have nothing to sign.    If he received it in another way and you are married in communion dei beni then it is possible you will have to sign before it is donated to your daughter. Bear in mind that donating a hose to 1 daughter without a donation of equivalent value to the other child (children) is opposable under Italian law, and if she is thinking of selling it withint 10 years it is probably no notary will stipulate the act of sale.
