Heirs living abroad
Inheritance in Italy? We take care of it, even if you live abroad
Succession declaration, cadastral transfers and taxes handled remotely by Geom. Lorenzo Armellin. No need to travel to Italy: everything is done in writing, on WhatsApp and by email.
You can write to us in your own language. Reply whenever suits you, whatever your time zone.
What we do for you, from a distance
We handle the things that usually block people who live outside Italy.
Italian tax code for the heirs
Without it the declaration can't be filed. If you don't have one, we request it from the Agenzia delle Entrate with your proxy: you sign a form and send it back.
Signatures from a distance
You appoint us by signing remotely. For the declaration alone you don't need a power of attorney from a notary.
Documents from abroad
Foreign certificates and documents: we guide you on apostilles and translations where needed. For certificates from EU countries they are usually not needed.
Taxes without an Italian bank account
We calculate them. They are paid by direct debit from an Italian account: if you don't have one, a co-heir in Italy can pay, or our office can pay as intermediary, with the receipts sent to you.
Declaration, filing and cadastral transfers
We prepare the declaration and file it with the Agenzia delle Entrate. Cadastral transfers for the properties are included.
Everything in writing
WhatsApp and email, documents even as photos. We always confirm the key points in writing; official documents remain in Italian.

Do I have to come to Italy?
No. The declaration is filed online through an authorised intermediary, which is us. Documents, signatures and payments are all handled remotely.
I don't have an Italian tax code: is that a problem?
No. You may already have one without knowing it, if you were born, worked or studied in Italy or are registered with AIRE: we can check for you. If you don't, we request it from the Agenzia delle Entrate with your proxy; through the consulate it usually takes longer.
The deceased lived abroad: is the succession still filed in Italy?
Yes, if they had assets in Italy, for example a house, land or an account with an Italian bank. In that case Italian taxes apply only to the assets located in Italy. We identify the competent office for you.
How do I pay the taxes without an Italian bank account?
Taxes are paid by direct debit from an Italian account. If none of the heirs has one, you can make a bank transfer to our office for the exact amount, which we confirm in writing, and we pay it as intermediary. You receive the receipts.
Do I need translations or apostilles?
Only for some documents issued outside Italy. Civil status certificates from EU countries usually don't need them; for other countries an apostille or legalisation may be required, plus a translation. We guide you case by case.
What language do we speak?
Write to us in the language you prefer, on WhatsApp or by email: we'll understand each other. We always confirm the key points (amounts, deadlines, documents) in writing. Official documents remain in Italian.
How long does it take?
We file the declaration within 48 hours, counting business days only, once we have all the complete documents. If a tax code or a document from abroad has to be requested, the time taken by those offices is added.
