Thank you for taking the time to explain that, that is a very clear answer. So basically I would need to see a copy of the divorce papers to see how it was worded. What wording would mean that she could have no further claim on the property as it wasn't part of a written agreed agreement?
Thank you. I suspect that it will have been bought in communion but I thought after a divorce and all assets are divided if the property wasn’t requested as part of the final divorce settlement the spouse cannot come back later and say “actually I do want half of the property now” I know I need to get a solicitor and probably one that speaks Italian and understands Italian law.
Thanks for your reply looks like I need to try and get a copy of the deeds from Italy then as I suspect his ex wife will not wish to forward her copy. If the property was bought in communion of goods, does that mean that even though the divorce settlement and division of assets was agreed at time of divorce and didn’t include the Italian property and both parties have since remarried she can still claim 50% of the property 20 years later? They were married in the uk and both have resided permanently in the uk. Thanks
