Who handles it on Fidato
Our English-speaking tax and legal team coordinates a trusted partner (specialised lawyer, often with an archive researcher) and stays your single point of contact. The partner's own fee is quoted separately and you approve it first.
Watch out
The rules changed recently and not every line of descent is admitted: a feasibility check comes first.
Outcome not guaranteed: the decision belongs to the authority. You pay for the work done, step by step, not for the outcome.
On Fidato: From €1,316.38, VAT and Care fee included. Government fees and stamp duties are extra, at cost.
