To issue an inheritance without coming to Ukraine

According to Ukrainian laws, it is possible to accept the inheritance within 6 months after the inheritance was opened. If the person who wants to accept the inheritance lived together with the one who transfers the inheritance, then he automatically enters into the inheritance rights.

If there was no cohabitation, an application should be prepared. So, living abroad, you can apply to the Embassy of Ukraine for registration of inheritance in Ukraine. In this case, the signature on the application for acceptance of inheritance must be notarized.

The application with a certified signature is sent by mail to Ukraine – a notary who will deal with the registration of the inheritance.

Where to apply for acceptance of inheritance while abroad

The question of where to submit an application for acceptance of inheritance while abroad is most often asked in the aspect of inheritance registration.

In addition, you can write a statement, notarize the signature in the country of residence and send this statement to a notary in Ukraine.

How to refuse inheritance in Ukraine while staying in another country

In order to refuse the inheritance, it is necessary to write a statement in which you refuse the right of inheritance. Waiver of inheritance is relevant in the case when the debt obligations exceed the value of the property.

You can give up property without being present in Ukraine through a proxy. Such a person can be a lawyer who will help you issue a waiver of inheritance without your participation and presence.
