Italian probate law
Discussion
I took advice when I recently bought a house in Italy.
The law is fairly prescriptive, summarised here: http://www.italianinheritance.it. Check all the pages/tabs.
My notary told me that the steps are quite clear but the process can be tortuous (as with anything Italian and legal). There can be long delays getting sign off of mutual agreement from all the heirs or, worse, grinding through the courts in the case of non-agreement.
A savvy legal adviser is a must.

Thanks for that link.
"Seek help" is certainly the impression I'm getting, at the moment my sister-in-law is over there with the family who are trying to deal with it all themselves, this is being complicated by the long term partner still holding onto car keys, bank cards, I.D.s etc...
From what I've read, if she wants to put his affairs to rest properly and avoid these shenanigans in the future, she's going to need to find a solicitor.
