The express or tacit acceptance of the inheritance is a purchase acquired with a transfer (mortis causa) and so it must be transcribed in the land registers to fulfil the following purposes: (i) the “principio” di “continuità delle trascrizioni” (principle of continuity of transcriptions namely), pursuant to Art. 2650, paragraph 2 of the Civil Code, since the absence of the Italian “trascrizione” (transciption namely) regarding the acceptance of inheritance implicates that the subsequent “trascrizioni” (see above) or “iscrizioni” (inscriptions, namely) “will not produce any effects” if the previous purchase has “not” been transcribed (the so-called “difetto di continuità”). For this reason, third-party purchasers would not be protected from buying, even in good faith, real estates under a void or voidable right (the right being voidable through the so called “pubblicità sanante”, pursuant to Article 2652 No. 6 of the Civil Code); (ii) “protection” of the “purchases” made by “third-parties upon payment” from the “heir apparent”, pursuant to Art. 534 of the Civil Code. The “trascrizione” (see above) of the purchase to be done by the heir apparent is one of the conditions required by law for the protection of the sub-buyers (upon payment and good faith) against the true heir. Instead, the “trascrizione” (see above) of the purchase made by the true heir has the typical legal effect of placing the latter safely against the acts of disposal of a possible apparent heir. In addition to being necessary, the “trascrizione” (see above) of acceptance of inheritance is also “mandatory” and therefore the notary, who receives specific dispositions involving the tacit acceptance of the inheritance, has the “duty” and the “professional obligation” to execute the “Trascrizione dell'accettazione tacita” (Transcription of the tacit acceptance) of the inheritance.
