Defined legal service

Establishing a birth, death or family-relationship fact

Separating three distinct procedures and reviewing ordinary registration and the special route for events in occupied territory.

The problem you need to resolve

  • a birth or death cannot be registered using a document accepted by the civil-status authority
  • kinship evidence is missing for inheritance or another legal purpose

What you receive

  • an agreed application
  • instructions for the later registration or notarial step

What we do

  • review the questionnaire, deadlines and agreed document list
  • separate verified facts from assumptions and define the legal objective
  • ordinary administrative route
  • general or special court procedure
  • venue, precise registration data, evidence and interested parties

What we need from you

  • applicant, parent or relative records
  • medical and occupied-territory material
  • images, communications, archives and burial information
  • inheritance file or another legal purpose
  • 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 4,000.
  • 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 judgment is followed by a separate state-registration step

When this service is not suitable

  • missing-person status or a declaration of death has a different subject
  • separate proceedings cannot determine an existing dispute over a right

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
