Lawyer for Inheritance

Description

Qualified inheritance lawyer

Inheritance cases often become the cause of protracted conflicts in families that can last for months, or even years. The testator may change the will at the last moment, leaving relatives without the expected property, or — together with real estate — significant debt obligations pass to the heirs.

In such situations, an experienced inheritance lawyer becomes your main advantage — he protects your interests in court and government institutions you would otherwise have had to visit countless times.

The “YURKONSALT” law firm offers professional legal support at every stage: from initial consultation to obtaining a certificate of right to inheritance or a court decision in your favor.

We work throughout Ukraine, with offices in Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia, and we guarantee an individual approach to every case.

When you need an inheritance lawyer

Many people mistakenly believe that inheritance is оформлюється automatically.

In reality, this is a complex legal process where one mistake can cost you a share of property. Our lawyers help clients in such common situations:

• The share size does not meet your expectations. You believe you are entitled to a larger share of the inheritance, but the notary issued a certificate for a smaller amount.
• Disputes between heirs. Several relatives claim the same property, or one of them unlawfully retains inheritance assets.
• Missing the inheritance acceptance deadline. Under the law, you have 6 months. If you did not file an application on time, the deadline can only be restored through court by proving that the reasons were valid. Learn more about this in our article about missing inheritance deadlines.
• Challenging the will. If there are suspicions that the will was made under pressure, while the person was incapable, or that it is forged.
• Debts in the inheritance. Often, along with the apartment, heirs receive the deceased’s loans. It is important to assess the risks and the options for refusing inheritance with debts.

Help from an attorney in оформлювання an inheritance through a notary

If there are no conflicts between the heirs, the procedure is handled through a notary. This is the standard route governed by the Civil Code of Ukraine. However, even here legal oversight is needed to avoid mistakes in documents.

1. Applying to a notary. You need to file an application at the place of the deceased’s last residence or where the main property is located.
2. Meeting deadlines. The application for acceptance of inheritance must be submitted within 6 months from the date of the testator’s death.
3. Collecting documents. Passport, tax code, death certificate, documents confirming family ties, and title documents for the property.
4. Receiving the certificate. After 6 months have passed, the notary issues a certificate of right to inheritance, which serves as the basis for registering ownership rights.

For more information about the legal regulation, you can read on the official portal Legislation of Ukraine.

An inheritance lawyer in court

When a notary cannot issue a certificate due to a dispute or lack of documents, the case moves to court.

Inheritance lawyer prepares a statement of claim, gathers evidence, and represents your interests at hearings. You do not have to be present in court — we will handle it for you.

The most common court cases include:

• Recognition of ownership rights to inheritance property by inheritance procedure.
• Removal from the right to inherit of unscrupulous heirs.
• Changing the order for obtaining the right to inherit.
• Invalidating a will due to breach of form requirements or expression of will.

We have significant experience in judicial оформлениеation of inheritance, which allows us to achieve positive results even in the most complex cases.
