INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS REQUIRING REAL ESTATE AND INHERITANCE LAW ASSISTANCE IN TORINO

• Selling inherited Italian property from abroad — Torino and Torino
  • A non-resident heir wishing to sell inherited property in Torino faces a series of procedural requirements that must be addressed before any transfer can occur. These include completion of the succession declaration, cadastral alignment, resolution of any building code irregularities, and procurement of the required energy performance certificate. The heir must obtain an Italian tax identification number and may grant a power of attorney to enable the firm to act on their behalf before the notary public. Capital gains taxation for non-resident sellers is governed by specific provisions, and applicable bilateral tax treaties must be considered to avoid double taxation in the country of residence.

• Inherited property in Torino — assistance for Argentine and Brazilian heirs
  • Descendants of Italian emigrants residing in Argentina or Brazil frequently inherit property in Torino or neighbouring municipalities in Torino. In many instances, the succession chain involves multiple generations and requires reconstruction of civil status documentation across Italian and South American registries. The firm regularly handles cases involving apostilled foreign documents, consular certificates, and multi-party successions where co-heirs reside on different continents. Where the inherited property is encumbered by debts or building irregularities, the firm advises on acceptance with benefit of inventory under Articles 484 and following of the Italian Civil Code, or on strategic renunciation under Article 519 of the Italian Civil Code.

• Italian property inheritance for US and Canadian heirs in Torino
  • A United States or Canadian citizen who has inherited real property in Torino or in the province of Torino is required to complete the Italian succession procedure, regardless of residence abroad. The process entails filing a declaration of succession with the competent Revenue Agency, settling applicable inheritance taxes — which differ substantially from US estate tax provisions — and registering the transfer with the local land registry. Where building code violations affect the property, preliminary regularisation may be necessary before any disposition. Remote assistance may be provided for the principal procedural steps, which may allow the heir to fulfil obligations without travelling to Piemonte, depending on the specific circumstances of the case.

• Purchasing property in Torino as a British citizen after Brexit
  • Since the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union, British nationals seeking to acquire real estate in Torino must navigate a distinct regulatory framework.

Furthermore, post-Brexit residence considerations apply where the purchaser intends to reside in the property for extended periods. The firm is available to assist UK clients at each stage of the acquisition process in the Torino area, from preliminary due diligence and building compliance verification through to notarial deed execution.
