In this research a model to support the definition of efficient and fair divisional projects in considerably complex bankruptcy procedures and inheritance disputes has been developed. The model is based on the principle that is generally pursued in defining shares to be assigned for inheritance divisions, according to which the assignment of the deceased’s assets must minimize the monetary compensations that result from the difference between the heirs’ legal right shares and the portions to be assigned to them.

The aim of this research is to develop a method to support the definition of efficient and fair divisional projects in particularly complex cases concerning inheritance disputes. Firstly, the approach involves an appraisal of the market value of the assets, along with an analysis of the respective conditions of concrete divisibility; then, two mathematical models have been developed for the assignment of the assets to the subjects involved in the divisional projects.
