Question: My spouse and I jointly bought a house in Italy. We are going through separation and will eventually divorce. We have agreed that I will retain the house and we need to change the name on the title deed to show only my name. Can you assist me? We are British citizens. Is it necessary to be present in Italy?
Answer: Yes, we can help. We have successfully worked on many similar cases with European and non-European Italian property owners. Our clients who live overseas never had to go to Italy for any formality regarding the change of name on title for their Italian property. Our goal is to make it as easy and cost effective as possible for you to complete the entire Italian property transaction in a very efficient manner.
In most cases we have been able to apply a special property transfer tax exemption. This exemption is applicable depending on the separation or divorce terms, so it is important to know your options and plan property.
We often work with our client’s local home country lawyers (attorney or solicitors) who are handling the divorce or separation, in order to evaluate the possibility of including specific terms in your home country divorce or separation documents that would then allow you to benefit from the special 0% tax rate exemption on your Italian property transfer by separation or divorce.
For an accurate assessment of your specific case, please complete the form at the link below. We will also review your particular case circumstances with an Italian notary who specializes in international estate matters. Then we will prepare a comprehensive feedback detailing the steps involved and the applicable total costs to complete the change of name on title. This will be done without any obligation.
