English-speaking lawyers in Benevento

Benevento, inland from Naples, is a common origin for families who emigrated to the United States, Canada and Australia. Their descendants often need an English-speaking lawyer in Benevento for property or paperwork left behind.

Typical cases are inheritance of family houses and land, citizenship by descent (iure sanguinis), correcting civil records, selling property from abroad by power of attorney, and residence for those moving back. Italian notaries handle sales and powers of attorney. Lawyers must be enrolled with the Ordine degli Avvocati di Benevento.

Hearings are held in Italian, and foreign records need an apostille and a sworn translation. Settle fees in writing at the start. English-speaking lawyers in Benevento also handle matters in Avellino and the Sannio villages. Old family property is often registered in the names of several heirs, some long dead. Sorting out the chain of succession can take months, so start early. Compare the firms below and contact them directly.
