Documentation

This page contains more than fifty useful documents for the declaration of succession. By delegating Agenzia delle Successioni, the heirs will save time and avoid lengthy and cumbersome procedures.

Managing an inheritance succession requires a considerable amount of documentation and an in-depth knowledge of administrative and legal procedures. Among the most complex steps is precisely the collection of death, registry, or cadastral certificates, which are essential for the proper completion of any inheritance procedure. These succession documents certify, for instance, the personal details of the deceased (de cuius), the family status at the time of death, the residence, any real estate ownership, and, in some cases, the existence of a will or a renunciation of inheritance.

Agenzia delle Successioni offers heirs the opportunity to delegate the collection and production of documents required to initiate the succession procedure and to gain possession of the estate of the deceased.

Operating in several countries, Agenzia delle Successioni can request certificates, deeds, cadastral extracts, and other records related to Italy — whether patrimonial or hereditary — regardless of whether the individual is an Italian resident or citizen.

Costs for documentation

Costs for requests to the Revenue Agency

Each form, certificate, or application may have a cost related to the release of the copy itself, special duties (fees), or page reproduction.

Generally, payments — if made independently — are made using Form F23.

The importance of delegating the collection of inheritance documentation

To submit a declaration of succession, a citizen usually turns to a tax assistance center (CAF), a patronage office, a notary, a surveyor, or another professional.

However, each of these professionals or entities does not always take care of obtaining every single document, leaving the heir with a more or less extensive list of required papers.

Delegating Agenzia delle Successioni offers countless advantages for the heir, including:

• Less time spent — no need for appointments, queues, or parking issues;
• Economic savings — each document has a cost, and they are often issued by different offices (municipality, bank, land registry, notary, notarial archive), so obtaining the correct one on your own can be costly;
• Zero stress — by delegating Agenzia delle Successioni, you resolve everything efficiently, obtaining valid certificates and documents without delays or errors.

Agenzia delle Successioni can also handle only the document collection if needed.

The services it offers to heirs are numerous, including:

• Declaration of succession
• Inheritance division
• Donations
• Wills
• Documentation
• Inheritance consultancy
