When you are wishing to know about the inheritance law in Italy, then you can get the best advice from the experts in the field of law. But what are the Italian inheritance laws in actual?

The Italian inheritance laws in actual are the rules that are implied in transferring the estate from a deceased person to his or her heirs. There can be two types of succession as per the laws of the Codice Civile which is the Italian civil code:

• Successione Testamentaria (testate succession): This is the succession that is ruled with the will and the testaments.

• Successione Legittima (intestate succession): This is the type of succession which is done in the absence of the will and the testaments and is ruled by the law.

And if there are some cases, where there is a will present but unfortunately not for the whole estate, then in such situation, the part of the will be followed as per the code of the testate succession and the part which is not mentioned in the will would be ruled by the law as per the intestate succession code.

So, if an heir has to acquire the inheritance, then they must accept this. As per the Italian law, there are two kinds of acceptance for the inheritance:

• Express acceptance: This is the acceptance that occurs when an heir formally makes the statement before a notary or the court’s registrar. And this has to be done in the form of a public instrument or with an authenticated signature.

• Tactic acceptance: This is the kind of acceptance when the heir is the owner and there is no need to make any formal statements

As per article 480 of the Italian civil code, the heirs will lose the right to accept for the inheritance in any ways after the 10 years of the opening of the succession, which means after the 10 years of the day from the death of the person.

Also as per the Italian civil code, article 475. The acceptance is termed as null if:

• If the statement for the acceptance of the subjects is not per the terms and conditions.

• There is partial acceptance for the inheritance.

There are some fiscal duties as well and the heirs are required to calculate and pay the inheritance related taxes and then have to file for a statement of succession along with the proof of the taxes that they have paid with the Italian tax authority.
