Ciao. I'm new here and am in need of advice. Please help if you can. I have recently jointly inherited a house near Agrigento in Sicily with my brother and 4 sisters. However, only I and my sister Angela want to use the house.
I think you are referring to the thread I started. I don't know if forwarding it to the succession law group removed it from your screen if you are not a member of the group. If so I am sorry about that. I may have made a mistake when forwarding it on - it was the first time I'd done it. You gave me some helpful advice which I am very grateful for. The thread is on the Piazza page on my screen so I don't know why you are not seeing it. I hope this wasn't the final straw for you that made you decide to leave. Please don't go!
Having looked at all our paperwork we have come to the conclusion that we are not going to be able to do all we want during one visit to Sicily. The 'Dichiarazione di Successione' has already been presented and the taxes have been paid so it is too late to remove our siblings names from the title deeds of the house. Bearing this in mind we intend only to sell the land and magazzino for the time being. Do we need a solicitor for this or do we just need the notaio?
I need to go and study exactly what documents Angela has and follow your advice. I will let you know how we get on. Thanks to everyone who has replied to my request for help.
There's certainly a lot for us to be getting on with. Unfortunately the Consulate won't be much help for us as we are all English-born British citizens. My sisters and I still live in England but my brother has recently moved to Singapore. (I'm female, by the way.) I will send this post to the succession law group as suggested. Thanks again.
I'm looking forward to exchanging posts and making new friends here. I'm off to Sicily in 2 weeks for a month. This will be a pre-trial visit as I need to get some repairs done to our house.

Your advice will be of great help to us. I will contact 'My House' asap. Thanks again.
