Our notary can provide information on the first operations to be carried out when a death occurs and, as far as property profiles are concerned, we can inform you of the rules on the devolution of the estate (the rules, in other words, on the basis of which the heirs are identified), with particular reference to the legitimate succession (governed only by the law), and/or the testamentary succession (governed by the will of the person who has left a will); it will be possible to verify - in the specific case - whether there are subjects (known as legitimaries) to whom the law reserves a part of the estate in any event, even in contrast to the will expressed in the will. Consulting also concerns the fiscal aspect: inheritance taxes, the de cuius' debts and much more can lead to incorrect interpretations. The help of a professional, on the other hand, enables you to deal with any problems in the knowledge that you are complying with legal requirements.
