Italian Real Estate Legal Services
Protect Your Real Estate Assets & Investments
If you decide to purchase, sell or rent a property in Italy, the surest way to achieve the smoothest transaction, free of legal pitfalls and entanglements, is to hire a dedicated Italian legal professional, like me, to best protect your real estate assets and investments.
Although the real estate transfer process is legally regulated, it can also be a potentially biased transaction. For this reason, it is a good choice to retain experienced legal consul with familiarity in the Italian real estate process.
Italian law requires parties to act in good faith during negotiations. Whether a party has a civil remedy, and the appropriate procedure, depends on the communications, agreements, conduct, evidence, and the specific transaction. We evaluate every case individually before advising on a possible claim. Additionally, any person engaging in real estate transactions within Italy should be aware that real estate agents operating within Italy are considered mediators, with their personal commissions associated with the proceedings. For this reason, it is strongly recommended to retain an independent attorney that is not directly associated with an agent immediately involved with the deal.
In Italy, as well as in the US, there are real estate opportunities related to judicial buying and selling, such as foreclosures. While these types of judicial transactions can be very convenient, the entire process is controlled through the courthouses. The procedures for such a transaction are very different from those of a standard real estate transaction and it becomes even more necessary and ultimately indispensable to have professional legal assistance to manage procedural actions and performs proper due diligence on the property before deciding to participate in a transaction.
A property linked to a family history may require review of title, succession, land-registry records, possession, time limits, and any cross-border applicable-law issues. A family connection alone does not determine ownership or the availability of a claim. We evaluate every case individually before advising on title or succession options.
All of these real estate matters can be extremely technical and complicated, which is why you will need professional legal advice and assistance.
