Defined legal service

Exclusion from inheritance

Separating automatic statutory bars from court-ordered exclusion and testing helplessness, need for assistance and deliberate avoidance.

The problem you need to resolve

  • facts may fall within article 1224 of the Civil Code
  • a claim must be brought or defended

What you receive

  • a written evidence-risk 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
  • specific statutory ground
  • proper parties and succession interest
  • evidence plan and claim or response

What we need from you

  • inheritance file
  • medical records
  • requests for assistance and communications
  • care expenses
  • 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 6,000.
  • 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
  • the court tests the complete set of statutory elements

When this service is not suitable

  • poor relations alone are insufficient
  • changing priority and invalidating a will are different remedies

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
