How to formalise an inheritance: main stages and issues

Inheritance disputes will not become something complicated and confusing if you seek the help of a civil and inheritance lawyer from Roman Kisil & Partners. Our work is carried out as follows:

Consultation. At the first stage, the lawyer conducts a conversation with the client, gets acquainted with the circumstances of the case and the available documents. It is important to take into account all the details: the composition of the inheritance, family ties, facts of cohabitation, etc. In addition, the specialist preliminarily assesses the prospects of the case and possible ways to resolve it.
Case analysis. After the consultation, an in-depth study of the materials is carried out, as well as an analysis of current legislation and case law in similar cases. Based on this, the lawyer forms a clear legal position and determines a further defence strategy.
Collection of evidence and preparation of documents. Effective protection of the client’s interests requires careful collection of evidence. The lawyer obtains the necessary documents, testimonies and information, and prepares all procedural papers for submission to the court. If necessary, attorneys’ requests are sent to obtain additional materials.
Judicial support. If the dispute cannot be settled in the pre-trial procedure, the lawyer files a statement of claim and represents the client’s interests in court. All procedural actions – participation in meetings, preparation of evidence, legal support – are carried out without the need for the client’s personal presence.

The lawyers of Roman Kisil & Partners have extensive experience in resolving inheritance cases of any complexity and are ready to help you protect your rights.
