The Privy Council ruling in Investec v Glenalla is being welcomed as good news for Guernsey, by reassuring settlors that assets in a Guernsey or Jersey trust are protected from creditors even if the trustee unreasonably incurs a liability or acts in breach of trust and thus invalidates its indemnity. The decision will prove to be of huge importance to settlors, beneficiaries and trustees across the offshore world, said Nick Robison of Guernsey law firm Babbé, which represented the trustees. FATT

Further comment has appeared on the England and Wales Family Court's decision to pierce the corporate veil in the financial remedy case of Akhmedova v Akhmedov (2018 EWFC 23 Fam).

The rule had threatened to derail the government's efforts to attract foreign talent to live and work in Japan, because it meant IHT liability could follow a foreign national for up to five years after leaving the country.

Such taxes are mostly payable by the purchaser. At the time of purchase, the system taxes the “wealth” indirectly manifested by the purchaser which consists of the price paid for the purchase of the property (so-called i

TUTELA DEL PATRIMONIO - Affidamento fiduciario

La nuova disciplina del patto di famiglia prevede una pluralità di operazioni per realizzare lo scopo della trasmissione generazionale dell’ azienda di famiglia:a) il trasferimento dell’azienda o delle partecipazioni al capitale sociale da parte dell’imprenditore ad alcuno dei suoi discendenti;b) la liquidazione degli altri familiari non continuatori dell’impresa di famiglia da parte dell’imprenditore che dona l’azienda oppure da parte dei discendenti che hanno conseguito l’attribuzione dell

L’adozione è una figura giuridica di origine antica, che consentiva ad un soggetto che non aveva eredi di ""sceglierne"" uno. Nel tempo le regole in materia di adozione sono cambiate molto: oggi la legge prevede diverse figure di adozione e norme molto particolari regolano l’adozione dei minori di età. Tali disposizioni sono decisamente finalizzate alla tutela del minore, anche nel periodo che precede l’adozione vera e propria.Una specifica attenzione è prestata dalla legge nel controllo dei

A sale or purchase proposal is a document the parties may sign before the conveyance proper. It consists, alternatively, of a manifestation of the owner's willingness to sell to a probable purchaser or a manifestation of a possible purchaser's willingness to buy from the owner: in both cases by acceptance of the proposal, believe it or not, the contract of sale is concluded and becomes binding for both parties. Furthermore, the purchase or sale proposal is usually irrevocable: the signato

It often happens that, after a prospective property has been inspected and chosen, substantial agreement is reached with the other party even if this is not yet formalized in written form. It is advisable to contact a notary at this early stage before signing the preliminary contract (the so-called “compromesso”).

E’ sempre molto complicata la vendita di immobili che in passato siano stati oggetto di donazione.

Infine, come sopra accennato, i beni del fondo sono strettamente vincolati ai bisogni della famiglia, con la conseguenza che anche i creditori subiscono tale "limitazione di responsabilità del fondo": il creditore non può, infatti, soddisfarsi sui beni e sui frutti del fondo in relazione ai debiti che conosceva essere stati contratti per scopi estranei ai bisogni della famiglia (art. 170 c.c.).Ne consegue che i creditori potranno agire sui beni del fondo patrimoniale e sui loro frutti essenz

Chi si avvicina al trust per la prima volta, al fine di verificare se l’istituzione di un trust possa risolvere un determinato problema, familiare o imprenditoriale, rimane spesso sconcertato dal fatto che, per il disponente, l’istituzione del trust significa dismettere la proprietà stessa dei beni del trust perché essa deve necessariamente passare al trustee in quanto, altrimenti, non si determina l’effetto segregativo, sopra descritto, che è uno degli effetti principali che si perseguono media

Notaries provide the community with a complex service, they carry out a public function of the State within the framework of an independent profession.

The Notary as existing in Italy belongs to the “latin (o roman)  notarial system”. The “latin notary” system is largely spread around the world, adopted by approximately 71 countries, mostly belonging to the civil law system. Although the same word “public notary” is used within the “common law” legal systems, it must be underlined very clearly from the beginning that the concept (the meaning) behind the word in the civil law system and in the common law system is completely, absolutel

Provate a chiederlo a mo’ di intervista al primo che passa. Le risposte più frequenti sono alternativamente “un professionista di cui ci si può fidare” e “guadagna tanto”.Nel sentire dell’opinione pubblica vi è così la percezione di due elementi essenziali del ruolo del notaio, che già risultano anche in un ruolo minore, quando il notaio, in un programma televisivo, garantisce che tutto si svolga regolarmente, che nessuno possa imbrogliare.

The notarial profession has always been, and continues to be, one that is more than ready to adopt new technology. It is sufficient to recall that from the 1960s on, any and all notaries' offices moved rapidly from traditional typewriters and duplicators to the most sophisticated photocopiers and PCs with large-capacity memories. The reason for notaries' particular attention to technological developments of this kind is evident. For over 2000 years the notary's job has been to create and con

Depuis toujours, le notariat est une catégorie prête à adopter de nouvelles technologies. Il suffit de penser qu’à partir des années soixante presque toutes les études de notaire sont passées, avec une étonnante rapidité, des traditionnelles machines à écrire et à polycopier aux photocopieuses les plus sophistiquées et aux ordinateurs dotés d’une mémoire prodigieuse. La raison de cette attention particulière du notariat pour le développement technologique dans ce secteur est évidente. Depuis

L’acte notarié doit être clair et complet, de manière que les parties puissent en comprendre le contenu et les effets juridiques. Par conséquent, dans la rédaction des actes notariés il faut éviter les termes (mots) et clauses de style ne correspondant pas à une réelle volonté des parties ou n’ayant pas un sens juridique précis. En outre, en choisissant les termes à employer, il faut autant que possible donner la préférence, quand bien même en respectant la précision du langage juridique,

The vendor has the right to receive the full amount of the agreed price from the purchaser at the time the sale contract is settled. Frequently the vendor has already received an advance payment on that price, generally as a deposit: in that case he will have the right to receive the difference to make up the full agreed price. The vendor has the option to allow the purchaser a deferral of payment, with or without interest. It is up to the discretion of the vendor (based on the trust h

Having broached subjects from the vendor's point of view as well, it is useful to recall that the burdensome INVIM (a tax originally levied on the vendor consequent upon his sale of a property) has been definitively abolished, to the great relief of the notary as well, given not only the complexity of calculating it but also (as always) the irksome role of tax collector that the law imposed on him. Nevertheless, it is helpful to emphasize that the vendor may still have to pay certain sums

If the property is classified with “heritage” status or if it is subject to particular artistic-scenic restrictions there must be, in certain circumstances, the authorization of the relevant authority for the sale and it is subject to pre-emption by the Monuments and Fine Arts Office; It may be that the asset is subject to certain formal claims (usually one or more mortgages) which mean it is not entirely “free”; the notary is able to check on the existence of such circumstances and advis

Per concedere un mutuo, la banca richiede una garanzia: quella per antonomasia più utilizzata è l'ipoteca. L'ipoteca attribuisce alla banca il diritto di soddisfarsi sul ricavato della eventuale vendita coattiva del bene concesso in garanzia, con priorità rispetto ad altri creditori. L'ipoteca è di maggiore efficacia se è di primo grado, cioè se non è preceduta da altre ipoteche: tendenzialmente di primo grado deve essere l'ipoteca concessa a garanzia di un ""credito fondiario"".L'ipoteca vi

The rate of interest is usually set in percentage terms; it may be fixed, which means it is the same for the whole duration of the loan, or variable, which means it is determined with reference to changing parameters that are set by objective, impartial criteria. For example, Euribor is an average quotation for variable rates calculated using objective criteria in the EU financial markets; while I.R.S. (interest instalments swap) is the financial reference parameter for establishing the cost

Following marriage, unless an explicit declaration to the contrary is made at the time of the ceremony, spouses find themselves in a shared property arrangement, this being the automatic legal regime in force in our system since 20/9/1975. This means that any purchase made by a spouse during the marriage is subject to legal community (or, simply put, is common property) with the other. The law excludes (to take a few of the more important cases) only assets acquired by donation or inherit

The rules governing this matter are extremely complex and may be schematically simplified by looking at a subjective profile and an objective profile. As regards the former, there are two main types of tax linked to real estate conveyances: stamp duty (imposta di registro) (and the related mortgage and cadastral taxes) and VAT. Whether one tax or the other is applied depends mainly but not exclusively on the nature of the vendor. Stamp duty is applicable in all cases where the vendo

One of the essential elements in the negotiation of a home loan is the delay allowed for  repayment of the capital, i.e. the duration. In general terms, one may say that the longer the duration of a home loan the lower the amount of each repayment instalment, which gives the borrower more breathing space; all this, however, means paying overall a larger amount in  interest, precisely because the capital is repaid more slowly. The practice also is that a longer duration

Notartel S.p.A. was set up in 1997 in a partnership between the Consiglio Nazionale del Notariato (National Council of Notaries) and the Cassa Nazionale del Notariato (National Notaries' Fund) with the aim of creating and managing information and communications services for Italian notaries. Notartel links all Italian notaries by way of an intranet called Rete Unitaria del Notariato (RUN, or Unified Notarial Network), offering the services typical of an internet provider, such as access t

A  "public officer" is a professional who performs "public functions". This means that he is vested by the State  with public authority and faith, which allows him to draw "authentic deeds"  (or "public deeds"). The “authentic deed” is the characteristic  "product" of the latin notary system. Even though  the notaries' discipline can show slight differences in  the different countries adopting the latin system, they all draw up authentic (public) deeds with the same legal meaning.

When purchasing a property (apartment, garage, commercial premises etc.) it is always necessary to check that it is in order from the point of view of the building ordinances, i.e. the existence of a building permit for its construction or “concessions” for any work subsequently carried out (it is often the case that work done without authorization was subsequently the subject of an amnesty by way of a corrective building concession).For vacant land, it is always important to check its statu

Legalization is indispensable for a foreign public document to be valid in Italy. It consists only of the official certification - by the competent Italian consular or diplomatic authority abroad – of the legal status of the public official (or functionary) who has signed the document and the authenticity of his signature. If the document is issued by a foreign authority in Italy, it must be legalized by the Prefect in the district in which the foreign authority is located (except for the

The purchaser's main obligation is obviously to pay the agreed price to the vendor at the time the sale contract is completed. Where an advance payment has been made as a deposit, the difference must be paid to make up the full agreed price. It is legitimate for the purchaser to request a deferment of payment, but it is not his right to insist upon it, it being left to the discretion of the vendor whether or not to grant this: the purchaser's obligation to pay the price in full derives fr

Italian law attempts to facilitate and encourage people to buy their own primary home (their so-called “primary residence” ["prima casa"]) through various reductions in taxes for the purchaser. Specifically, at the time of purchase, the purchaser pays 3% (stamp duty) if he buys from a private person or 4% (VAT) if he buys from a company (except for a few odd cases), plus a fixed charge for registering the transfer and mortgage (presently a total of Euro 336.00).A foreigner, too, may take advanta

Joint ownership of assets is the property regime Italian law “automatically” assigns to partners in marriage, but allows the spouses to choose otherwise (such as the separation of assets or joint ownership by agreement).In summary, legal joint ownership means that, in principle, all assets acquired by the spouses during their marriage, even if formally in the name of one only of them, in reality belong to both. That means that in order to sell them, donate them, mortgage them or otherwise dispos

The purchase of a home is always an important step in our lives. Just as the sale of a property also carries significant overtones: from investment decisions, to the reordering of assets, to the need for generational change. Whether it be the purchase or the sale of a property, it is not something to be taken lightly. Indeed, these are extremely complex operations that are full of pitfalls and that cannot be undertaken without the advice of an expert. Are you aware of the rights and oblig

Dalla compravendita di un immobile nascono per entrambe le parti tanto dei diritti quanto degli obblighi. A fronte infatti di alcuni diritti in capo ad un contraente, corrispondono eguali obblighi a carico della controparte, cosicché sia il venditore che l’acquirente si trovano coinvolti in un reciproco vincolo di pretese da veder soddisfatte e doveri da rispettare.Se alcuni di questi diritti/obblighi, quali il pagare/ricevere il prezzo e il consegnare/ricevere l’immobile, sono, per comune s

In "land credit" contracts, the borrower has the legally-assured option of early repayment of the home loan; but generally, even in ordinary contracts, that possibility is foreseen. The borrower may decide, therefore, at a certain point in the repayment plan, to close out the contract and repay the remaining capital, on which obviously he will no longer pay interest. Given this loss of earnings, the bank could, if the contract so stipulates, demand compensation (a penalty). According to a

Nei contratti di ""credito fondiario"", la possibilità di restituire il mutuo anticipatamente è una facoltà attribuita dalla legge al mutuatario; ma, generalmente, anche nei contratti di diritto ordinario è convenzionalmente prevista tale possibilità.

Dopo anni di attese è stato finalmente emanato il D.lgs. 20 giugno 2005, n. 122, recante “Disposizioni per la tutela dei diritti patrimoniali degli acquirenti di immobili da costruire, a norma della legge 2 agosto 2004, n. 210”: è il decreto legislativo che introduce maggiori tutele per chi acquista case in corso di costruzione.Le novità introdotte risultano di notevole impatto sociale: basti pensare che, secondo stime di associazioni di categoria, dal 1995 ad oggi le famiglie italiane coinvolte

A person may not always be able to express his intentions directly: for example, because he is abroad or far from the place in which he is supposed to sign a particular deed or contract.In such cases, it is possible to use a power of attorney, i.e. a document giving another person the power to undertake a material or legal act in one's stead.For example, if a husband is abroad and a purchase contract for a house must be signed urgently, the husband – before he leaves or from abroad – may give hi

Fluctuations in the cost of money may, in some cases, make it advisable to “make running changes” to the terms of a mortgage: such changes, in economics, are known as renegotiation. There are various legal methods for achieving this: a) discharge of the old home loan and granting of new financing with a new mortgage (“replacement” home loan); b) merely changing the terms of the old home loan (renegotiation in the strictest sense); c) from 2 February 2007, subrog

In a property conveyance, right from what we have called the preparatory phase before the definitive contract, the notary plays a rather delicate and important role: determining whether in fact the vendor is free to sell the asset and whether the purchaser in his turn may legitimately acquire it. For example - to cite just a few of the more important aspects - the notary's tasks include certifying the personal identity of the parties (in other words that the vendor and hence the owner of

If the parties wish to set up an general partnership, they must respect the specific rules laid down in this regard by the Civil Code, bearing in mind, in any case that, for many aspects, the law refers the reader to the provisions regulating informal partnerships, which consequently apply equally to general partnerships. So that, in the light the foregoing, the present file foresees multiple referrals to the subjects already dealt with and developed with regard to the informal partners

A conveyance differs substantially from an exchange, a donation or a division. In an exchange, there is the reciprocal transfer of certain properties from one owner to another: basically, this means one property is exchanged for another but the exchange may also be accompanied by the passing of a sum of money as a balance if there is a difference in value between the properties exchanged. In a donation, there is always, as in the conveyance, the transfer of real estate, but there is no

Law no. 52 of 1996 introduced rules into the Italian legal system to protect the consumer in his contractual relations with professionals. In order to rationalize regulations which have been complicated by a long sequence of amendments, a Consumer Code was recently published (Legislative Decree no. 206 of 6 September 2005), which contains a thorough reworking of most of the consumer-protection rules. Article 3 of the Consumer Code defines a "consumer" as a physical individual who acts

La legge n. 52 del 1996 ha introdotto nel nostro ordinamento delle norme protettive dei consumatori nei rapporti contrattuali con i professionisti.Ai sensi dell'art. 1469 bis del Codice civile si definisce ""consumatore"" la persona fisica che agisce per scopi estranei all'attività imprenditoriale o professionale eventualmente svolta; mentre ""professionista"" è la persona fisica o giuridica, pubblica o privata, che, nel quadro delle sua attività di impresa o professionale, utilizza il

The price-value mechanism is applicable on condition that the contract document shows the full price agreed: "If even part of the agreed price is hidden, taxes are due on the whole amount and there is a fine of from fifty to one hundred per cent of the difference between the taxes due and those already levied on the amount declared, after subtracting the amount of any fine”.

A foreigner may set up a company in Italy, create an association, or undertake any other operation on the same conditions mentioned for the purchase of a house. With one caveat: reciprocity may exist only with regard to certain matters. If, for example, in a particular country an Italian may set up a company but not buy a house, a foreigner from that country (not officially resident in Italy) may set up a company in Italy but not buy a house.

A home loan is a contract whereby one party, called the lender (usually a bank), transfers a given sum of money to a second party known as the borrower, so that the latter may use it for a given time in exchange for paying the former an amount representing interest. To this outline of the essential structure and functions of the contract must be added that a home loan includes various clauses that are not always immediately comprehensible but are necessary for regulating all the relations

Il mutuo è un contratto con il quale una parte, detta mutuante trasferisce una determinata quantità di denaro a favore dell'altra.

The Consiglio Nazionale del Notariato (C.N.N.) is the professional order of notaries. It is made up of 20 notaries directly elected by all practising notaries in three-yearly elections. There is a limit of two consecutive mandates. The three members of the Audit Committee are elected according to the same procedure.The 20 elected councillors, after they are installed in office, nominate a President, a Vice President, a Secretary and an Executive Committee. The tasks of the Consiglio Na

In generale la compravendita è il contratto che ha per oggetto il trasferimento della proprietà di una cosa o il trasferimento di un altro diritto verso il corrispettivo di un prezzo; più genericamente si può dire che la compravendita immobiliare è l’accordo formale con il quale una parte, detta venditrice, trasferisce ad un’altra, detta acquirente, la proprietà di un  determinato immobile a fronte del pagamento del prezzo pattuito.Il nostro ordinamento giuridico, in considerazione del

The law completes the range of measures introduced to protect the purchaser by extending to the purchaser the right to parcel out the loan and the mortgage on the building being built, and the prohibition on selling before the division of the loan into quotas, or before discharge of the mortgage or foreclosure where these are not taken over by the new purchaser (Articles 7 and 8). The purchaser of a house to be used as his/her home has the right of pre-emption in case of an auction (Art.

First of all, the purchaser has the right to have the vendor consign the property at the time of the notarised conveyance, upon payment of the purchase price, in its known state, with any agreed accessories, free of persons and things. It is legitimate for the purchaser to request consignment of the asset before the definitive transfer: however it is not his right to insist upon it, it being left to the d

The Decree does not apply in general to all real estate transactions but only to those negotiations of buildings where the seller (called “builder”) sells a building that he or others have built (Article 1, paragraph 1, letter b). Hence the law applies not only to purchases from a builder (an individual or a firm), but also to the person or firm that sells a building built by a third party. According to the Decree a “purchaser” is an individual who purchases a building or who, even though

Home loan contracts with a bank for a duration exceeding 18 months enjoy significant reductions in terms of indirect taxes: the contract does not attract stamp duty or registration duty or the mortgage registration tax, but only a “substitute tax” of 0.25% on the amount of the home loan which is debited directly by the bank and paid over to state revenue (N.B.: for mortgage contracts for the purchase, construction or restructuring of a second or subsequent home, from 1 August 2004 the tax th

In order to grant a home loan, the bank requires a guarantee: by definition, the most common of these is the mortgage. A mortgage gives the bank the right to be repaid from the proceeds of any forced sale of the asset offered as collateral, with priority over other creditors. A mortgage has better legal standing if it is a first mortgage, i.e. if there are no higher-priority mortgages: a "land credit" guarantee generally requires a first mortgage. A mortgage is established over the

Another important innovation is that the builder, or seller of buildings being constructed, is obliged to take out an insurance policy which will protect the purchaser for at least ten years from any damages deriving from the total or partial collapse of the building or from serious construction flaws (Article 4).

These must be residential properties and related accessories (garages, cellars, etc). As the taxation department itself confirmed (Telefisco 2006), the benefits extend to accessories without limit as to number and even if purchased separately from the principal asset, so long as their intended use as accessories is specified in the purchase contract. The system also applies to purchases of housing and accessories that are ineligible for the benefits foreseen for “primary residences”. So a

As has been seen above, in order to determine the type of tax and the amount and means of payment of the sums due for duties on the purchase of a so-called primary residence, one must first of all take into account the nature of the vendor. When the vendor is the company that built (or renovated) the property and four years have not elapsed since completion, the conveyance is subject to VAT that the purchaser must pay directly to the company and not to the notary, along with the payment o

The conveyance may rightly be considered the notarial transaction par excellence, considering all the actions the law imposes on the notary following settlement (to cite the more important ones: filing, cadastral registration, transcription, notification of the competent authorities specified by law etc.). It is the notary who writes the contract after having established the intentions of the parties and after having obtained all useful information and carried out all the necessary search

If a married person wishes to sell a property, it is necessary to check whether or not the consent of the other spouse is needed; If a minor or a person not of sound mind is the owner of an asset, a judge's authorization is needed for the sale as well as the intervention of that person's tutor or parent or legal representative; the same thing applies for a purchase by such persons; If an inherited asset is the common property of several heirs, before selling his share an heir must firs

Only legal security in business and private relationships allow for economic development; therefore a constitutional state must guarantee  legal security to its citizens. To this goal: 1) lawsuits  must be prevented, for as much as possible; 2) the citizens must have access  to public registers whose records are reliable and legally trustworthy. Clearly the reliability of the findings depends entirely upon the trustworthiness of the deeds entered. An authentic deed, drawn by a

In the first place, the vendor is obliged to consign to the purchaser the property sold in the state in which it is with vacant possession, free of persons and things, at the time the contract of sale is notarised, i.e. at the same time as the balance of the price is paid. The vendor has the option, however, of allowing the future purchaser to occupy the property even before the actual change of ownership, it being understood that because he is still the owner of the asset he remains resp

Per regolare i rapporti patrimoniali tra i coniugi il nostro codice prevede un regime applicabile a tutte le famiglie nel caso in cui i coniugi non esprimano alcuna volontà specifica; la legge permette peraltro ai coniugi di scegliere un regime diverso sia al momento del matrimonio che successivamente.Il regime patrimoniale legale della famiglia, in mancanza di diversa convenzione, è costituito dalla comunione legale. I coniugi possono stipulare apposita convenzione matrimoniale per sceglier

Any change, even only a purely formal change, in the clauses of the by-laws of a company is considered to be an amendment to the by-laws.  As a rule this competence belongs to the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting and the relevant decision must be written in the minutes by a notary public and then registered with the Register of Companies.The decision must be taken by a majority vote, any clause in the bylaws setting forth that unanimity is required to change the Memorandum of Association

The limited liability company is intended for smaller companies than joint-stock companies, and the equity participation in the company has a personal connotation which is absent in the s.p.a.  In fact, it has a limited number of shareholders who are not personally responsible for the social security liabilities, even if they have acted in the name and on behalf of the company.The legislation in place as of 1 January 2004 has had a major impact on the limited liability company, which is an e
