Accept an inheritance in Ukraine without travelling
We analyse the estate, the heirs and the deadlines, then, under your power of attorney, file the application, collect the documents and obtain the certificate of inheritance. You stay in your country, we work in Ukraine. Everything you tell us about your family and property is confidential.
The deadline does not wait
An inheritance must be accepted within 6 months from the date of death (Art. 1270 of the Civil Code of Ukraine). Martial law does not suspend this period — this is the position of the Supreme Court (case No. 692/852/24). Living abroad is not, in itself, a valid reason to restore a missed deadline.
When clients come to us
- A parent or another relative has died, and you live abroad
- The deadline is running out and you cannot come to Ukraine soon
- There are several heirs and you need to know who gets which share
- The deadline has already passed and a court decision is needed
- Someone already tried to register the inheritance, but the notary refused or the case stalled
How it works
Analysis
We find out what the estate includes, who the heirs are, how much time is left and what the risks are, and offer options.
Power of attorney
We send you the text of the power of attorney and instructions on how to sign it in your country.
Inheritance case
We file the application with a notary, open the inheritance case and collect documents and registry extracts.
Certificate and registration
We obtain the certificate of inheritance and register your ownership.
Timing. The notary issues the certificate of inheritance after 6 months from the date of death. We will name the overall timing after the diagnostic consultation.
Analytical, comprehensive, confidential
What we analyse before proposing a plan
- What the estate includes: real estate, land, accounts, shares, debts
- Who the heirs are and whether a dispute is possible
- How much time is left and whether a court is needed
- Taxes, selling the inherited property and taking the money abroad — planned ahead
Who we bring in and coordinate
- A notary where the inheritance is opened
- A translator and an apostille for documents from abroad
- A valuer
- A lawyer in your country — for the power of attorney
- A tax adviser in your country of residence
You deal with one responsible lawyer who also leads the team.
Confidentiality from your first message
- The very fact that you contacted us, your documents, property and plans are protected by attorney–client privilege (Art. 22 of the Law of Ukraine «On the Bar and Practice of Law»).
- The law prohibits demanding privileged information from an advocate or questioning them about it (Art. 23 of the same law).
- 16 years of practice since 2010: client confidentiality is a rule without exceptions.
- Only your lawyer and the specialists we bring in with your consent know about your case — under a confidentiality obligation.
What you will need
- The death certificate (or a copy — we can help obtain a duplicate)
- Documents proving the family relationship: birth and marriage certificates
- The heir’s passport and Ukrainian tax number (RNOKPP)
- The will and title documents — if you have them
The exact list depends on your situation — we draw it up at the diagnostic consultation.
