Specialized document support and certified translations for international clients involved in inheritance matters in Tuscany.

Inheriting assets in Italy involves far more than translating documents. It requires a clear understanding of Italian legal terminology, notarial procedures and the administrative requirements governing cross-border successions.

Handling an estate across two countries is hard enough emotionally, without the paperwork adding to it. We help heirs, executors, and their lawyers with the translations that are needed for succession matters such as wills, probate records, death certificates accepted by Italian tax authorities, banks, courts, and land registries. We also assist with the documents needed to unfreeze bank accounts, transfer property, or sell inherited real estate in Italy.

Estate Documents We Translate & Certify:

  • Will (testamento)
  • Birth certificate
  • Death certificate
  • Inheritance tax return (dichiarazione di successione)
  • Property deeds (rogiti di provenienza)
  • Probate documents
  • Powers of Attorney (procura)
  • Certificate of Heirship
  • Bank statements and financial statements
  • Italian citizens living abroad handling inheritance matters in Italy.
  • Law firms and advisors who need reliable bilingual document support for cross-border cases and interpreting for their clients.
  • Real estate companies helping international clients sell their property in Italy.

Common inheritance issues we catch early

Italian succession law often requires documents proving family ties across generations. We check vital records for gaps before you submit anything.

.S. probate documents often need extra supporting paperwork such as Apostilles and certifications in order to be recognized in Italy. We make sure the full chain is there.

A name spelled differently on a birth certificate, marriage certificate, immigration record or death certificate can stall a succession case. We catch this at the very beginning.

Old title documents don’t always match current cadastral records. We check this before it affects a registration or sale.

If you can’t come to Italy in person, we can prepare the sworn translations that your power of attorney requires.
