Defined legal service

Establishing cohabitation as one family for inheritance or property division

Separating the inheritance and property objectives and reviewing evidence of shared residence, household, budget and mutual obligations.

The problem you need to resolve

  • five years of family cohabitation must be proved for fourth-order inheritance
  • property was acquired during family life without a registered marriage

What you receive

  • an evidence sufficiency 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
  • legal purpose and relevant period
  • family-evidence matrix
  • application or claim with the related remedy

What we need from you

  • residence records
  • shared expenses and agreements
  • communications, images and witnesses
  • marital status and inheritance file
  • 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 5,500.
  • 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
  • the fact does not create an automatic marriage or entitlement to all property
  • inheritance and property claims have different conditions

When this service is not suitable

  • a shared registered address is not enough by itself
  • a rights dispute requires claim proceedings

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
