Defined legal service
Incapacity and guardianship
A review of the eligible applicant, the functional legal test, less restrictive alternatives and the person’s procedural safeguards.
The problem you need to resolve
- there is evidence of a persistent mental disorder and inability to understand or control actions
What you receive
- a prepared case within the agreed scope without a promised outcome
What we do
- review the questionnaire, deadlines and agreed document list
- separate verified facts from assumptions and define the legal objective
- applicant and alternatives review
- application and guardianship-authority interaction
- expert and court stages
What we need from you
- kinship and residence records
- medical material
- information about the proposed guardian
- 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 5,000.
- 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 person’s participation and legal representation are procedural safeguards
When this service is not suitable
- age, physical illness or family conflict alone is insufficient
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
