I am preparing a Will in relation to UK assets only, for a client who is an Italian national and is domiciled in Italy, and is unable to travel to England to sign the Will. Under s1 of the Wills Act 1963, as I understand it, the Will therefore needs to be executed in accordance with Italian Law, and the Probate Registry will require an affidavit of law for the will to be proved.
Can anyone advise as to the formal requirements for a Will to be validly executed in Italy?
