i will be travelling to my place near menfi in sicily several times a year landing at trapani or palermo, depending on mr gadaffi...as it's very restrictive to buy a car in italy and i don't want to keep asking family to collect me each time, i ha

sending a parcel to my cousin in italy i am using google translator in which i enter 'fragile - handle with care' for english to italian translation, this is confusing for me because it gives exactly the same output as in english.

just opening the link made me laugh loudly without reading anything but the title, as prescribed...
thanks to both replies...
Capo Boi, you explain the system more eloquently than i ever could - thanks. Ram, that's very interesting, i'll try to search for the case you mention.
thanks Gala for understanding the correct reason for writing this post - as stated in the title, info for the benefit of community members.
correct flip but not that simple. it was never my intention to leave the funds that long, as stated above circumstances, out of my control caused me leave the funds. i tried to phone the bank several times to manage the funds but they would not entertain me over the phone.
glad i'm not the only one giorgiotan, i certainly wasn't feeling myself for that period. Fillede, this is a new one on me... up until recently i read occasional articles in the media stating uk has a very large amount of 'dormant' accounts/assets but never any mention about this. maybe still in stages of being made law.
i find this post very interesting, views balanced not too extreme. regards to people returning to uk from italy or other euro countries must be more due to lower £ value and less cultural or weather.
Fillide and Charlotte, many thanks for clarifying this matter for me.
thanks for responding so promptly - i am unable to do likewise due to not getting email notifications. @michelangelo what you suggest sounds about right but legal jargon is at best very confusing. @Fillede the phrase appears in both contexts as you suspect shown below (names have been replaced by asterisks): **** ******** ha lasciato la propria quota a ******* **********. Il testamento è già stato pubblicato in morte di **** ******** ed è già stata presentata la denuncia di successione. and ******* ********** ha lasciato la casa a **** **********. Bisogna pubblicare il testamento in morte di ******* ********** la denuncia di successione. thanks
Dear Charlotte and Ram, I have today spoken to someone from the notary department at the italian consulate about the procedure for setting up a power of attorney and was given similar advice, coupled with your responses, this has taken a huge weight off my shoulders. i only have to get the details of the notary in sicily and i should be able to set the process in motion, i will keep you advised of the progress.
