For Swiss citizens inheriting assets located in Italy\u2014such as real estate, bank accounts, investments, or other assets\u2014it is essential to understand the procedures established by Italian law to avoid delays, penalties, or issues with the disposition of the inheritance.

Indeed, when a deceased person leaves assets or rights in Italy, in most cases it is necessary to file an inheritance declaration with the Revenue Agency within the legally required deadlines. The inheritance declaration is essential to regularize the transfer of assets to heirs and to enable, among other things, the transfer of properties, the release of bank accounts, and the proper fulfillment of tax obligations. Following the reforms introduced in recent years and the progressive digitalization of Revenue Agency services, the inheritance declaration is submitted exclusively online. It is no longer necessary to physically visit the Revenue Agency offices to file the application. The entire procedure is prepared, verified, and submitted online by qualified professionals, significantly saving time and increasing efficiency.<\/p>\n\n
To correctly prepare the inheritance declaration, the following documents are generally required:<\/p>\n\n
– international death certificate;<\/p>\n\n
– identity documents and tax codes of the heirs<\/p>\n\n
– personal data of the deceased;<\/p>\n\n
– family tree (prepared directly by our firm based on the documents provided);<\/p>\n\n
– any will;<\/p>\n\n
