Death of a relative in Italy

Comment

Italian succession is handled by the notaio, so that is the first stop with a copy of the will. The notaio should handle the nuts and bolts of the succession, so a lawyer isnt necessary unless you are intending to contest the will. However, a translator would help, if your Italian is not fluent. (or an English speaking notaio) - but they will all be on holiday till the end of August.

Hi Ram Sorry for the delay in writing back. My father's partner does not believe I need to do anything until she sells the house but I have read somewhere that I need to declare my interest in the 40% that my father owned within 6 months. My husband and I are going out to Montefiore in October so would be grateful if you had any advice you could give as to what we should consider doing. Regards Jackie P

Sorry to hear about your sad news. You can write to the Fermo Comune and request the multilingual certificate. Attach a copy of the certificate you have as it will help them to find the original. Best wishes

Thanks Gala Have managed to get a multi lingual cert from the Montefiore Commune (where my father lived) and so far this has been accepted in the UK. Sorry for the delay in writing back to you, but a new grandson has arrived and computer time has been on the back burner. Kind Regards Jackie

Technically you should open the succession within 6 months of the death, and that will save you money. You can do nothing, but when you finally get round to it you will pay higher costs. Better to get it done in my opinion.

Hi Ram Thanks that's what I thought but have been told that law has changed and you now have a year. Will need to find out for sure because my husband and I are going over in October but then won't be out there again until next spring. Kind Regards JackieP
