If you like planning and being in control of your properties in US and Italy, you should have a will in place rather than letting default succession rules to apply to your estate. In this event you will learn about wills, how to deal with and what strategies you should put in place in order to keep control of your properties and investments both in Italy and US. Leading this session is Nick Metta, a Filitalia International member and Italian lawyer based in Doylestown, PA.
