About this area
An inheritance in Ukraine is a deadline, not just a document
Ukrainian law gives heirs six months to accept an inheritance, and creditors six months to bring their claims. For heirs abroad these deadlines pass quickly. We find the notary handling the estate, prepare the documents and act for you before notaries, registries and courts.
