About managing the death abroad of a loved one in Italy

Who it is for

Families whose loved one has died in another country. A local lawyer can help with the legal and official steps. This includes bringing the body home, dealing with local officials, getting papers such as the death certificate, and handling what the person owned. Families may also need guidance on local inheritance rules.

How it works

It starts with a meeting to understand what happened. The lawyer then contacts the local offices to speed up the release of the body, either to send it home or for a local burial. If the death was sudden, the lawyer can deal with the police and the coroner (the official who looks into unexpected deaths). All steps follow local law.

What the service includes

  • Collecting the details to see which steps are needed
  • Handling the paperwork
  • Speaking with officials for you
  • Arranging for the body to be taken home, if needed
  • Keeping you informed at every step
