Italian Wills & Probate: Inheritance Oversight

Inheriting Italian property triggers a strict 12-month filing deadline for the *Dichiarazione di Successione*.

Key Research & Considerations

We research the interactions between your foreign Will and Italian law. A critical consideration is Brussels IV (EU Regulation 650/2012); we evaluate whether electing your national law can protect your estate from Italian Forced Heirship. We also analyze the Tax implications of the inheritance for foreign heirs.
