Why You Need an Italian Estate Plan

Whether you own real estate, hold bank accounts, or have financial interests in Italy, MG Law ensures that your wishes are respected and your heirs are protected.
Our Expertise in Italian Wills and Inheritance Law
As an international law firm specialized in estate planning for foreigners, we assist you in:
- Drafting legally valid Italian wills
- Managing real estate and bank accounts in Italy
- Advising on life insurance, shares, and other assets
- Navigating the “legittima” – the Italian mandatory heirs’ rights
- Ensuring smooth succession without legal disputes or extra costs
What Is the “Legittima” and Why It Matters
Italian law requires that a portion of your estate goes to your statutory heirs (spouse, children, or parents). Our lawyers help you understand these obligations and structure your will accordingly, protecting both your intentions and your family’s rights.
Understanding Italian Succession Law
Succession in Italy is regulated by specific rules that apply to both assets and liabilities. If you don’t have a valid will, Italian law decides how your estate is distributed – often complicating the process for your foreign heirs.
Risks of Not Having a Will in Italy
- Legal disputes among heirs
- Delays and extra costs in transferring ownership
- Unintended beneficiaries under Italian law
- Fiscal penalties and tax complications

As your Italian estate planning law firm, c_legal will ensure a smooth estate distribution, in order to help your loved ones, avoid future legal problems, complications, delays, formalities and additional costs for properties or assets located in Italy. During the succession and inheritance procedure, clients may pay additional costs, and the c_legal lawyers are available to help and assist their clients during this common Italian estate procedure.
Our laws stipulate a “legittima” (an obligatory share of the statutory heirs), which must be necessarily considered when drawing up a Will. Our lawyers are always ready to inform the heirs about the extent of their rights and obligations.
The whole area of Inheritance and Wills represents a crucial moment for everybody and the wealth transfer regulation often concerns real estate assets, among other things. While the creation and ultimate distribution of a will may seem complex, working with c_legal helps to ensure that everything is fully covered and everyone is fully informed.
It is not just assets that are transferred on death. Italian succession is the legal phrase used to describe the passage of assets and liabilities to the heirs of the deceased. Based on the principle of unity of inheritance, Italian succession can be carried out formally or informally depending on the relationship of the parties involved and the complexity of the estate.
