        A procedure that allows direct negotiation with creditors to restructure debt, focusing on asset protection and income maintenance.

        A mechanism designed to free the debtor from residual debt, offering the possibility of obtaining a "fresh start" after meeting specific requirements and overcoming the crisis phase.
      • Judicial liquidation
        A last resort solution, available in particularly serious situations, which involves the liquidation of assets to satisfy creditors and allow the debtor to make a fresh start.
    • FOR PROFESSIONALS AND SMALL ENTREPRENEURS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS IN BARCELLONA POZZO DI GOTTO


  • Can an Italian citizen residing abroad access debt restructuring procedures in Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto?
    • An Italian citizen with debts connected to Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto or the province of Messina — such as mortgage arrears, unpaid taxes, or business debts — may access Italian over-indebtedness procedures provided the centre of their economic interests or the debts' connection to the Italian jurisdiction can be demonstrated.

  • Does Italian debt restructuring affect debts owed in other countries?
    • Italian over-indebtedness procedures primarily affect debts governed by Italian law. However, under the EU Insolvency Regulation, the effects of proceedings opened in Italy extend to other EU member states. For debts in non-EU jurisdictions, recognition of the Italian procedure depends on bilateral treaties and local law.
    • Schedule a preliminary consultation

The firm recommends the procedure most suitable to the client's asset position and debt profile.
