countries is to leave the entire estate to the surviving spouse or civil partner. this approach is liable to challenge by any child and may be inefficient if it means that the surviving\u00a0 spouse&#8217;s\u00a0 estate will exceed Italian inheritance tax thresholds on their death due to a &#8220;bunching&#8221; effect.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/p><p dir=\"auto\">If you are national of another country apart from Italy able, you may be able to prepare a will under the laws of your nationality and hope that it can be relied upon to ensure that the terms of the will will override Italian\u00a0 forced heirship rules in case of divergence rules.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>If your want your estate to go to your spouse and children then making a will may not be required at all &#8211; Italian law will handle everything automatically.\u00a0 But if you have property outside\u00a0 Italy or wish to diverge from the Italian rules for any reason then making a will be worthwhile.<\/p><p dir=\"auto\">In the context of foreign property separate wills\u00a0 for each jurisdiction may be worthwhile with a view to easing the probate\/succession procedures on death.\u00a0 Note that this should not be used a ruse to fail to report foreign (non Italian) assets for Italian IHT purposes.<\/p><p dir=\"auto\">If you do wish to &#8220;disinherit&#8221; a spouse or child by indicating legacies in your will which diverge from the forced heirship rules then techniques exist, all of which, however, may give to dispute through the courts, and which may require a significant investment in professional advice.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian Forced Heirship Rules (Successione Legittima) Italian forced heirship, governed by the Civil Code (Articles 536\u2013564), restricts the freedom for an individual to decide where their assets should go on death.\u00a0 The rules work by reserving a portion (quota legittima) for &#8220;forced heirs&#8221;
