Helpful tips from Giambrone Law to Italian Wills

As outlined by Giambrone Law (http://www.yell.com/b/Giambrone+Law-Legal+Services-London-SE108JA-6431912/), there are three different ways through which an Italian will can be made legally good. These first is a will which is privately handwritten by the Testator (the person generating the will), and is dated along with signed. Under Italian Law, a hand-written will does not need to be witnessed; there won't be any attestation clauses. This document won't have to be written in Italian. Although the demands are very basic, Giambrone Law says that it is advisable for those writing a real will to have it checked by a legal representative, to ensure that all substantive along with formal legal requirements have been achieved.

The second type of legally good will is a Formal Will; a file that has been drafted by the professional Italian notary, as per your instructions given by the Testator. This specific document, Giambrone Law says, must be go through to the Testator upon completion, in order that it is compliant with the Testator’s needs. The Testator then has to indicator the will with a witness found, after which the document can be lodged with the notary. Though a Formal Will provides the Testator with some assurance, in that the document will stop disregarded or lost, Giambrone Law suggests that it does involve service fees, and its contents must be got rid of to the witnesses, and there is of course a danger that they may not keep the data confidential.

The third option is a new Secret Will. This is a will which is picked by the Testator, and subsequently inserted inside of an envelope, that's then given to a notary public. The fees for using your notary are relatively minimal, and the contents of the file will be undisclosed until the Testator dies, at which the envelope will be popped by the notary.

One of the principle issues with wills in Italy, Giambrone Law says, is under Italian law, members of the Testator’s fast family are automatically permitted minimum shares of their house. Because of this, even when one particular of the three aforementioned wills has been go through, there may still be problems with deciding how the estate should be broken down, as a balance will need to be arranged between complying with the law, and also the wishes of the Testator.
