Inheritance and donation in Italy<\/h1>\n
Managing inheritance and donations requires attention to Italian regulations and, if applicable, to those of the country of origin. It is possible to plan the transfer of patrimony avoiding conflicts among heirs. A correct legal approach protects rights and wishes of the interested subjects, also to avoid possible disputes.<\/div>\n
\n

When speaking of inheritance and donations for a foreign citizen with assets in Italy, one enters a complex legal field, where it is essential to deeply understand Italian rules and the applicable international laws.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The transfer of patrimony, both through succession and through donation before death, can create significant legal problems, especially when one is residing abroad or possesses assets in multiple Countries. For this reason, it is crucial to rely on experienced professionals like Boschetti Studio Legale, which for years has successfully assisted international clients in the planning of their inheritance and management of donations.<\/p>\n

In Italy, donations during life must be considered at the moment of succession, since donations must be inserted in succession and directly influence the shares of forced heirship reserved to legitimate heirs. These legal aspects require careful planning and expert support, which Boschetti Studio Legale is able to offer to foreign citizens and to a person residing abroad with assets in Italy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Legal Advice for Inheritance and Donations in Italy<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

For a foreigner who wishes to regularise their donations or plan a succession in Italy, it is indispensable to avail oneself of the advice of a lawyer specialised in donation and succession. In this scope, Boschetti Studio Legale offers tailored advice for every client, carefully analysing the patrimony and providing clear indications on how to manage assets according to Italian regulation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

One of the most delicate aspects of succession planning concerns the application of Italian law or of the law of the Country of habitual residence or citizenship of the deceased, as provided for by EU Regulation n. 650\/2012<\/strong>. In many cases, in fact, a foreign citizen residing abroad can decide that Italian law govern their succession for assets located in Italy, provided that the planning is carried out correctly. Boschetti Studio Legale is the law firm to assist you in every phase of this process, helping you to choose the best solution for you and your heirs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Succession planning becomes even more complex when donations have been made during life. In Italy, donations must be counted in the division of the inheritance to ensure respect for the shares of forced heirship. This means that the heirs might be obliged to contribute the donations received through the mechanism of collation. Depending on the cases, it can be a collation by imputation, which allows the heir to retain the asset received, but imputing its value to their share, or a voluntary collation, which entails the restitution of the asset to the inheritance mass.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

With Boschetti Studio Legale, you will always be supported by a team of experts in donations and successions, who will guide you in assessing how and when donations made during life must be integrated into the inheritance patrimony. This is particularly relevant when it concerns indirect donations, a phenomenon often underestimated but with a significant impact on the division of the patrimony. Indirect donations, in fact, such as the payment of the price of a property registered to a third party or the payment of sums of money, must be carefully monitored to avoid future conflicts among heirs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Which lawyer to turn to for inheritance?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

For questions linked to inheritance, it is advisable to turn to a lawyer specialised in inheritance law or in family law. This type of lawyer has experience in inheritance disputes, divisions of patrimonies and drafting of wills. In complex cases, such as disagreements among heirs or international inheritances, the lawyer will be able to provide adequate advice.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How much does a donation of inheritance cost?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

The cost of an inheritance donation varies based on the value of the donated asset and on the relationship between donor and beneficiary. There are donation taxes, which vary from 4% to 8% on the value, in addition to notarial expenses and any fees for legal advice. It is also important to consider any costs of transcription in the real estate registers, if the donation includes real estate.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When does the donation harm forced heirship?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

The donation harms forced heirship when it affects the share of inheritance reserved to forced heirs (spouse, children or, in their absence, ascendants). Italian law provides minimum shares of inheritance that must be ensured to these heirs, regardless of any donations made during life by the deceased. If the donation exceeds these unavailable shares, the forced heirs can contest the deed and request the reduction of the donation.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Which professional should one turn to for the succession?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

For the succession, it is fundamental to turn to a notary for the drafting of the deed of succession and its transcription in the competent registers. In case of disputes among heirs or complex legal questions, the intervention of a lawyer experienced in inheritance law may be necessary. This professional can help to resolve legal disputes or offer advice on fiscal questions linked to the inheritance.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
