INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS REQUIRING REAL ESTATE AND INHERITANCE LAW ASSISTANCE IN SALERNO

• Italian property inheritance for US and Canadian heirs in Salerno
  • A United States or Canadian citizen who has inherited real property in Salerno or in the province of Salerno is required to complete the Italian succession procedure, regardless of residence abroad. The process entails filing a declaration of succession with the competent Revenue Agency, settling applicable inheritance taxes — which differ substantially from US estate tax provisions — and registering the transfer with the local land registry. Where building code violations affect the property, preliminary regularisation may be necessary before any disposition. Remote assistance may be provided for the principal procedural steps, which may allow the heir to fulfil obligations without travelling to Campania, depending on the specific circumstances of the case.

• Real estate acquisition near Salerno for German and Swiss buyers
  • German and Swiss nationals represent a significant share of foreign property purchasers in Campania. Whether acquiring a primary residence, a holiday home, or an investment property in the Salerno area, the purchaser must contend with Italian conveyancing procedures, cadastral verifications, building compliance assessments, and a taxation framework distinct from that of Germany or Switzerland. The bilateral conventions for the avoidance of double taxation between Italy and each country have direct implications for property income and capital gains. The firm offers dedicated assistance in German legal terminology where required, with the aim of supporting the client's interests from preliminary inquiry through to registration.

• Selling inherited Italian property from abroad — Salerno and Salerno
  • A non-resident heir wishing to sell inherited property in Salerno faces a series of procedural requirements that must be addressed before any transfer can occur. These include completion of the succession declaration, cadastral alignment, resolution of any building code irregularities, and procurement of the required energy performance certificate. The heir must obtain an Italian tax identification number and may grant a power of attorney to enable the firm to act on their behalf before the notary public. Capital gains taxation for non-resident sellers is governed by specific provisions, and applicable bilateral tax treaties must be considered to avoid double taxation in the country of residence.

• Purchasing property in Salerno as a British citizen after Brexit
  • Since the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union, British nationals seeking to acquire real estate in Salerno must navigate a distinct regulatory framework. Reciprocity conditions under Italian law must be verified, tax identification must be obtained, and the conveyancing procedure differs markedly from the English system of solicitors and land registry. Furthermore, post-Brexit residence considerations apply where the purchaser intends to reside in the property for extended periods. The firm is available to assist UK clients at each stage of the acquisition process in the Salerno area, from preliminary due diligence and building compliance verification through to notarial deed execution.

• Inherited property in Salerno — assistance for Argentine and Brazilian heirs
  • Descendants of Italian emigrants residing in Argentina or Brazil frequently inherit property in Salerno or neighbouring municipalities in Salerno. In many instances, the succession chain involves multiple generations and requires reconstruction of civil status documentation across Italian and South American registries. The firm regularly handles cases involving apostilled foreign documents, consular certificates, and multi-party successions where co-heirs reside on different continents. Where the inherited property is encumbered by debts or building irregularities, the firm advises on acceptance with benefit of inventory under Articles 484 and following of the Italian Civil Code, or on strategic renunciation under Article 519 of the Italian Civil Code.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS IN SALERNO

• Can a foreign citizen purchase property in Salerno without Italian residency?
  • Yes, subject to the verification of reciprocity conditions under Italian law. Citizens of countries with which Italy maintains reciprocity agreements — including the United States, the United Kingdom, and all EU member states — may acquire real property in Salerno without holding Italian residency. The purchaser must obtain an Italian fiscal code prior to the transaction.
  • Schedule a preliminary consultation
• Is a power of attorney sufficient to complete a property sale in Salerno without being present?
  • A non-resident owner may grant a special power of attorney (procura speciale notarile) to an appointed representative, enabling the sale of property in Salerno without the owner's physical presence at the notarial deed. The power of attorney must be executed before an Italian consulate abroad or before a foreign notary with subsequent apostille and sworn translation.
  • Schedule a preliminary consultation
• What happens if inherited property in Salerno has building code violations?
  • Building irregularities must generally be resolved before the property can be sold or mortgaged. Options include applying for a sanatoria (retroactive building permit) where the violation is eligible for regularisation, or demolition and restoration to the approved state. The firm assesses the nature of the violation and advises on available remediation options, which vary depending on the type and extent of the irregularity.
  • Schedule a preliminary consultation
• What taxes apply when a non-resident inherits property in Salerno?
  • Inheritance tax in Italy is determined by the degree of kinship between the deceased and the heir, with rates ranging from four to eight percent and applicable exemption thresholds. Non-resident heirs are subject to the same rates as residents. Additionally, cadastral and mortgage taxes apply at the time of succession registration. Bilateral tax treaties may affect whether the inheritance is also taxable in the heir's country of residence.
