Defined legal service

Challenging a notary’s refusal in an inheritance matter

Obtaining the reasoned decision, reviewing its legal basis and distinguishing a challenge to the notarial act from a claim to the inheritance right itself.

The problem you need to resolve

  • there is a written refusal to perform an inheritance act
  • the refusal affects the applicant’s rights

What you receive

  • a written route assessment
  • an agreed court document

What we do

  • review the questionnaire, deadlines and agreed document list
  • separate verified facts from assumptions and define the legal objective
  • decision and submitted documents
  • effective remedy selection
  • claim and inheritance-file evidence

What we need from you

  • refusal decision
  • application and document list
  • inheritance file
  • title and archive records
  • answer focused follow-up questions and verify the factual information
  • do not send a full set of sensitive documents before the conflict-of-interest check and agreement of a protected channel

Fees

  • Fixed fee for the first-stage ‘Written action plan for your situation’: UAH 4,500.
  • Standard scope: one situation, one legal objective and up to 25 pages of agreed documents.
  • The stage includes questionnaire and document review, legal classification, three next actions, a missing-document list, deadlines, risks and alternatives.
  • Where the next stage can be defined, its fixed fee is provided before work begins.
  • More than 25 pages, additional objectives, urgent work or foreign-language documents are priced before work begins as a separate or extended stage.
  • Court fees, notaries, translation, valuation, experts, registration and other third-party costs are excluded and agreed separately.

What may change the route

  • objections or new claims from another party
  • missing, inconsistent or newly received documents
  • the need for valuation, expert evidence, a notarial or registration step
  • existing court or enforcement proceedings, a missed or imminent deadline
  • a registrar complaint and a court challenge to a notary are different procedures

When this service is not suitable

  • an oral explanation is not enough for full review
  • a dispute between heirs may require a different claim

How we report progress

  • we agree the communication channel before work begins
  • we report receipt of materials, completion of the assessment, document readiness and the next required action
  • where new facts or extra work arise, we first explain the effect on timing and fees and ask for your approval
