In most abovementioned inheritance cases court is the only institution that is competent in solving the dispute, providing clarification of circumstances of the case, acquisition of evidence related to the case, etc.

We provide legal defense of heirs’ rights in litigation process.

Ukrainian Civil Code and Art.1, 48 of Law “Regarding notaries” attribute the process of certification of rights that have legal meaning and issuance of inheritance certificates to notaries.

Therefore it is never a bad idea to address a notary before filing a lawsuit to court. Regardless of how questionable or vain such action might seem to heir, consequences of this appeal as well as actions that notary will choose to undertake can be both positive and negative.

In case if notary decisions are not satisfactory for the heirs or their rights were violated, filing a lawsuit is a logical next step.

In case of notary refusal to actuate an inheritance case or issue hereditary certificate for appropriate part of inheritance, litigation is the only way of protecting one’s right.

After a series of proceedings, reclamation and assessment of evidence and verification of inheritance law compliance, court on behalf of attorneys’ petition performs formalization of title over hereditary property.

More than once we had conducted inheritance cases in courts around Ukraine, without limiting ourselves to Kiev.
