½ûÂþÌìÌÃ

Any good hardware store - have seen it in 'Brico's', they sell netting and tape which works, you could make a seperate frame to fix it to, can also buy kits with aluminium frames, longer lasting but more expensive.   Lidl's often have good offers if one near you.

Yikes, Where did you get it from Penny? Sat in, you know who's office Fri and he produced big book and wrote down same as Sprostoni says..... think we all need to know what is right as may have to put house up for sale and rent here !!!! Will PM you with stuff tomorrow.

Hi Karen, Yes I too had heard siblings could have a cut if no children, greedy sisters sound scary maybe Charlotte can elaborate.   Friend here has just written his holographic Will and has sent me a copy so I think I know the right things to say now.  Lawyer had inferred I would word it wrongly...May write it as advised and take it to him to tear apart!!!!  Can forward details to anyone interested....to get checked out, of course....

Thanks Sprostini, we may have same lawyer as your figures are the same as what I was quoted...thank goodness as Penny, yours not so much in Mrs D's favour and she is the one I want to get the lot.  Lawyer did say that Mrs D would have the right to remain in house (right of habitation) so cant be chucked out...phew...told her to unpack suitcases now !!!

Hi Charlotte, Would be grateful if you would please confirm whether this is right.... Have just returned from free (ha ha) session with lawyer (who acted for us when puchasing house) to ask about 'Wills'.  I have children from previous marriages (5) but would like my wife to be sole beneficiary on my demise. He said, that English law stated, immovable assets ie property here in Italy would be dealt with under ½ûÂþÌìÌà law...so inheritance laws here would be adhered to.... Is this true?  Even if I wrote a holographic Will stating I wished for my ½ûÂþÌìÌà estate to be disposed of under the law of my nationality - English, and wanted Mrs D to get the lot! Many thanks for your help. 

Thank you Ram, I too was under that same impression.  However, just had meeting with lawyer who says that according to English law, immovable possessions exp: a property, have to be disposed of by the law of the country in which they are.  In our case, our house in Italy is our only property and we do not have savings etc to divvy out to all and sundry.  Have you heard of the above before???  Any help most welcome. Thank you.

Thank you both for help and advice....Off to see legal bod tomorrow for free initial chat....(already sounds expensive), will report back on outcome.

Thanks for update Valentina, was just flagging it up again as your previous reply had said it was being set up and would take a couple of weeks......Forgot that here time scales are somewhat flexible.....Looking forward to seeing it up and running.  Thanks again. 

Valentina, Not sure if you are around or not but an update from someone/anyone in admin would be welcome on this posting please. Thanks.

Will it be scrambled if using freeview satelite dish ???
