I inherited Italian Property via a Sales Document drafted by my mother - what do you mean exactly? Was it a private sale or was it a sale stipulated by a notary? Also - was your mother italian? If a will only provided for proeprty in the US, then property in ITaly falls under the Italian law, assuming she was the legal owner. Usucapione is lengthy and costly.

Hi,
The sale was notarized and legalized by an Italian Notary in the US.
My mother and all my family are Italians
The property is still in her name in the Italian Land registry of Arena.
The original Attorney in Italy lost the original wills of both my parents. Italian law states the wills need to be Apostilled,legalized and notarized in the US.
Then sent to be filed in Arena
To get new wills it's very convuluded. Proving my mother's intentions without her alive is costly and laboured.
I payed taxes on the property through the history of this ongoing mess. Favorably accepted judicially if I opt into Uscapcione.
A friend says with the supporting evidence of an official notarized "Deed of Sale" it could fair better.
Than to resuscitate old wills.
Thoughts?
Kind thanks
Chris

If you ignored the will bit, and just did the succession as required in Italy how many heirs are there? If the other heirs refuse their heredity and you accept yours then its done and the property becomes yours. If the other heirs dont want to do this then you will have to publish the American wills in Italy with all that entails, and that doesnt mean that they cant be contested under the Italian law of the legittima.
