Wenn Nachlässe streitig werden.

Manche italienische Nachlässe sind in Monaten erledigt. Andere landen vor Gericht: wegen eines bestrittenen Testaments, einer Pflichtteilslücke, einer Auseinandersetzung, auf die niemand sich einigt. Wir vertreten beide Seiten.

When estates contest

Italian succession is built to settle out of court: the notary publishes, the heirs declare, the registry updates. Litigation is the exception, and when it comes the disputes tend to repeat.

A contested will

Impugnazione on grounds of incapacity, formal defect, undue influence, or forgery. The action runs against every heir who benefits, and expert handwriting analysis is often decisive.

A share clawed back

An azione di riduzione by a legittimario cut below their reserve. The court reconstitutes the estate, lifetime gifts included, and orders restitution within ten years of acceptance.

An estate that won't divide

Divisione giudiziale when co-heirs cannot split an indivisible asset: a villa, an art collection, a company. The court can order a sale and distribute the proceeds.

A judgment from abroad

Recognition and enforcement of foreign succession decisions in Italy: inside the EU under Regulation 650/2012, outside it through the dedicated procedure of L. 218/1995.

Mind the clock

Every action runs on its own deadline, from five years to ten, some imprescriptible. We map the deadlines first and the merits second, then tell you honestly what the case is worth.
