Inheriting property in Italy involves navigating a specific set of legal and bureaucratic steps, especially for those living abroad. From how Italian inheritance law determines property succession with or without a will, to what’s required to properly transfer ownership, there are important rules to understand. Foreign and domestic heirs alike may need to obtain an Italian tax code, register the property within set deadlines, and be prepared for potential inheritance taxes. Knowing what to expect when taking ownership of a home or apartment in Italy can help avoid complications and ensure everything is handled according to Italian legal requirements. In this episode of the Italian Real Estate Podcast hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we’ll learn more about how inheritance works in Italy and what steps are involved in managing inherited real estate.
