For estates involving transnational and digital wealth, a personal capacity holding creates significant jurisdictional exposure. We use technical out-of-court mechanisms to insulate your digital and virtual assets within a compliant legal framework, ensuring they are transitionary without the delay of the High Court or Italian Tribunals.
Digital Succession & Jurisdictional Insulation
We provide technical oversight for the coordination of complex asset classes, including:
- Situs & Conflict Analysis: Determining the legal "Situs" of every asset mass to identify which jurisdiction’s law (Rule 140) will claim authority. See our Wealth Technical Guide.
- Renvoi & Scission Management: Professional drafting to decouple movable and immovable assets from the Common Law "Scissionary" trap. Detailed in our guide on Brussels IV.
- Digital Asset Succession: Formal instruction sets for the transitioning of domain names, virtual IP, and corporate accounts across borders.
- The "Trust Interno": Drafting bespoke trusts holding Italian assets, regulated by foreign law but compliant with the Hague Trust Convention.
