DEEDS - PROOF OF OWNERSHIP

06/10/2010 - 08:30

Hi I have just inherited a house in central Italy. It was built by my family sometime in the 20’s, it has had rooms added over the years and has been in it’s present state and undeveloped since the 70’s. My question is, as it’s never been sold, just handed down from one generation to the next, will the house have ’DEEDS’? I have not seen any, and really don’t know where to start looking. Any ideas? I am not planning to sell the house, just to live in it. Thank you.

As such deeds dont exist in Italy - its your act of purchase that is your proof. Failing that the successions done by a notaio passing the property to the inheritor act as proof of ownership.

Hi Ram Thank you for that. So would the 'notaio' keep a copy of the succession too?

The notaio should keep a copy of the succession, and there will be a copy with the conservatoria - probably in Frosinone. They can also access the database and run off copies which mere mortals can't. If the last notaio no longer exists, his records will be kept in the local notarile archive and you can go and search for it, but you will need a pretty accurate date as a starting point.

Thank you Ram, that is a great help. At least I have a starting point. And so it begins…….
