Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Italian real estate fund always require a notary?
Not every activity carried out by a real estate investment fund requires a notarial act. The involvement of a notary depends on the specific transaction and on whether Italian law requires a public deed, authenticated document or other notarial form.

Foreign entities may invest in Italian real estate subject to the applicable Italian legal, regulatory, tax and documentation requirements. The structure and documentation required depend on the investor and the transaction.
Can an international investor complete an Italian real estate transaction remotely?
In certain circumstances, a properly executed power of attorney may allow an authorised representative to act before the Italian notary. The requirements depend on the jurisdiction in which the power of attorney is issued and on the transaction concerned.
What documents does a foreign company need for an Italian notarial transaction?
The required documents depend on the company and transaction but may include corporate registration documents, constitutional documents, resolutions, identification of authorised representatives and beneficial ownership information.
