International inheritance: Have you inherited assets in Italy? In the event of an inheritance in Italy, we supported our client by searching for certificates and documents for German and Italian inheritance proceedings without having to travel. With the entry into force of the new European Succession Regulation (EU Succession Regulation), the law of the state in which the deceased had his habitual residence at the time of his death applies - initially. Assistance with regard to inheritance tax implications is provided in equal measure thanks to co-operation with the Italian and German tax authorities.

German-Italian marriage: Do you have an international marriage? We can provide you with the best advice for an international divorce. Whether German or Italian law is applicable is determined by the rules of private international law. We are familiar with all the rules of German and Italian marriage and family law that are of interest, as the EU regulation stipulates that the place of residence is decisive.

Road accident in Italy: Have you had a road accident in Italy? When it comes to a road accident in Italy, the first question is: Which law applies? The applicable regulations of the country in which the accident occurred apply to the determination of liability and the quantification of damages. If the accident occurs in Italy, Italian liability law applies and the claim for damages is therefore handled in accordance with Italian law. We can represent you not only out of court, but also in a lawsuit in Germany or Italy.

Criminal defense: Do you have problems with the Italian judicial system? If a criminal offense is committed in Italy, criminal proceedings are not always automatically initiated in Italy. In some cases - such as insults (Art. 594 StGB) - criminal proceedings may only be initiated at the request of the injured party ("complaint"). In criminal proceedings there is a legal obligation to be represented by a lawyer, i.e. it is not possible to defend oneself. Everyone has the right to appoint a trustworthy defense lawyer. LEGALEde supports you both in Germany and in Italy.
