The cadastral view by person (on name) is an official document of the Internal Revenue Service that allows one to find out about all properties in the name of an individual or a company by searching on their name within a province or, when necessary, throughout Italy.

What it contains

• List of intestate properties
• Address and cadastral data (sheet, parcel, subdivision)
• Category and cadastral income
• Ownership share and type of right (ownership, usufruct, bare ownership)

What data are needed to request it

To carry out the search you need:

• Person's full name (or company name)
• Tax code (optional, but recommended to avoid homonyms)

With this data, it is possible to accurately identify the property in the person's name.

Can it be requested nationwide?

Yes. The view can be requested:

• by individual province, or
• nationwide, with a search of the entire Italian territory, except for the provinces of Trento and Bolzano, for which you can request visura from the cadastre tavolare

What is the purpose of the visura su nominativo

• Succession and inheritance: Helps identify all the deceased's real estate in order to properly prepare the declaration of inheritance.
• Litigation and legal audits: Useful for ascertaining attachable property, joint ownership, real rights and property situations in civil cases.
• Buying and selling and due diligence: Lets you verify that the seller is the actual owner and check the cadastral data of the property.
• Wealth surveys and audits: Indispensable for asset analysis, debt collection, business valuations or mortgage applications.
