Moving to Italy
Moving to Italy
Legal Assistance for International Residents
Relocating
Residence, home, wealth and family, together.
Moving to Italy means organising residence, home, wealth and family at the same time. The firm handles the legal side of the move and coordinates the other professionals involved.
Meetings are held in English or Italian, in person or by video call.
Typical steps
- 01
Preliminary assessment
An initial meeting to understand your objectives, timing, family situation and the interests you plan to bring to Italy, and to identify the legal issues to address.
- 02
Residence and tax coordination
The legal framework of your change of residence and, where required, checking entry and residence permits with the competent professionals and authorities. Tax planning, including any election for the new-residents regime, is carried out by tax advisers with whom the firm coordinates.
- 03
Property and due diligence
Checks on the property (title, planning compliance, encumbrances), review of the offer and preliminary contract, and assistance through to completion before the notary, including purchases through a company.
- 04
Structuring your assets
How to hold assets, shareholdings and investments in Italy, with input from the necessary specialists.
- 05
Family and succession
Family and succession matters with international elements: habitual residence in Italy may affect the law applicable to succession (EU Regulation No 650/2012), with consequences for wills and estate planning.
