About this episode
When buying property in Italy, many foreign buyers assume the notary’s involvement means their interests are automatically protected, but the reality of the Italian purchase process is more specific, and understanding where the notary’s role begins and ends can shape how you approach due diligence, documents, timelines, and risk before you sign. This episode connects the practical side of buying a home in Italy with the legal framework that governs the closing, so anyone considering real estate in Italy, from first time buyers to returning expats, can better understand what protections are built into the system and what may require independent legal support. In this episode of Ask The Italian Lawyer hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we’ll learn the answer to the question: do you need a lawyer to buy property in Italy if there is a notary?For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comFor help with buying a home in Italy, and more information about Italian Real Estate Lawyers visit IREL's website:https://ItalianRealEstateLawyers.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team at Italian Citizenship Assistance & Italian Real Estate Lawyers:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/https://italianrealestatelawyers.com/contact-us/To see more from @RafaelDiFuria living abroad and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#movetoitaly #italianproperty #italianrealestate
