Inheritance Law in Italy

According to Italian law, inheritance can be transmitted in 2 ways: 1) According to the law: in absence of a Will, the properties are transmitted according to the principles set out by the Italian Civil Code. 2) According to a Will: the typical legal document drafted by a person in order to dispose of his/her assets after death. Any Will must be published by an Italian Notary Public, and registered with the competent Italian authorities. In case of a non Italian Will, this should primary be the object of a sworn translation in front of an Italian Court
