Welcome to the Inheritance Center!
Inheritance administration is a legally complex process that may involve numerous challenges. Distribution of inherited property, preparation of legal documents, and court disputes between heirs all require a thorough understanding of the law and professional legal support. That is why we recommend consulting an inheritance lawyer before starting the inheritance process. Professional legal advice will help you avoid mistakes and protect your rights.
Ares Law Firm specializes in inheritance law. Our inheritance lawyers provide comprehensive legal advice at every stage of the inheritance process and can fully represent and support you throughout the entire procedure.
During the consultation, our lawyers will explain:
1. Your rights and obligations as an heir.
2. The inheritance administration procedure.
If the deceased left a will, your lawyer will explain the legal aspects of inheritance under a will. If there is no will, the estate is distributed among the closest relatives in accordance with Ukrainian law, and it is essential to prepare all required documents correctly.
In some cases, the deceased may have significant debts that become the responsibility of the heirs once the inheritance is accepted. In such situations, our lawyer will explain the legal consequences of refusing an inheritance and help you complete the necessary legal formalities.
3. How to protect your rights in disputes with other heirs.
Conflicts between heirs are common. If someone attempts to challenge the will, exclude you from inheritance, or unlawfully claim your share of the estate, we will help protect your interests, including representing you in court when necessary.
4. What to do if you miss the inheritance acceptance deadline.
Under Ukrainian law, an heir has six months to submit an application for acceptance of the inheritance. If this deadline has been missed, we can prepare and file a court application requesting the restoration of the statutory deadline and provide the necessary legal justification.
5. What to do if the title documents for inherited property have been lost.
It is not uncommon for heirs to lose or be unable to locate documents confirming ownership of inherited property. This situation is not hopeless. In many cases, the documents can be restored if copies remain with the issuing authority or in archival records. If they cannot be recovered, ownership rights may be established through court proceedings.
How does a consultation at Ares Law Firm work?

If there is a dispute, your lawyer will recommend the best course of action, explain which documents must be prepared, and advise where they should be submitted. If you need assistance with legal documentation, our lawyers will prepare inheritance applications, agreements, court claims, and any other documents required for inheritance administration.
