How assistance is arranged
Start with a brief description of your matter and the country concerned. After clarifying the circumstances, we will agree on a consultation, document preparation or representation. The scope, timing and cost are determined before paid assistance begins.
Discuss your situationCan I get help with “Inheritance matters” if I live abroad?
We can start remotely while you are abroad. In your first message, state where you live and where the relevant party, property or authority is located. We will check whether a representative can take particular steps and whether the procedure requires your personal participation.
Does my country of residence decide which law applies to “Inheritance matters”?
No. Your place of residence alone does not decide which law applies. Relevant factors can include the countries connected to the parties, where an event or contractual duty took place, where property is located and which authority is handling the matter. We first check the connection to Ukraine, the potentially applicable law and whether local counsel in another country is needed.
What if I do not have all the documents for “Inheritance matters”?
You do not need a complete file to make an initial inquiry. Give us a short timeline, your desired outcome, important dates and a list of the documents you already have. Document numbers and scans are not needed in the first inquiry; after clarifying the facts, we will identify what is missing.
What determines the cost of help with “Inheritance matters”, and can I limit the scope?
Before paid work begins, we agree on its format, specific steps, deliverables and fee. The cost depends on the materials, stage of the matter and any work involving another country. Court or official fees, notarial acts, translations and expert reviews are discussed separately if needed.
Can you guarantee the outcome or timeframe for “Inheritance matters”?
No. We cannot promise a decision by a court or authority, or the actions of another party. After reviewing the facts, we explain the available options, evidence needed, risks and the timing of our own work. The overall duration can also depend on other parties, authorities and cross-border procedures; tell us promptly about notices and dates.
