Remote Inheritance in Ukraine — Successful Case for an Israeli Citizen

Our law firm has recently completed a complex inheritance case for an Israeli citizen who inherited apartments in Kyiv, bank funds, and intellectual property rights after her father’s passing — all handled fully remotely.

Key challenges:
• The father’s wife had a legal right to a compulsory share.
• This required detailed negotiations, calculations, and reaching an agreement.
• The state notary refused to divide the estate as agreed.

What we achieved:
• Took the matter to court in one of Kyiv’s busiest districts.
• Obtained court approval of the settlement agreement.
• Registered the inherited apartments in the client’s name.
• Secured access to inherited bank funds.
• Finalized all remaining legal formalities in Ukraine.

Result:
The client was fully satisfied — every step was completed remotely through her authorized representative in Kyiv.

We are ready to assist our clients in accepting inheritance in Ukraine remotely, wherever they live.

Ukrbud Development is no longer bankrupt. The decision of the Court of Appeal dated 29/12/22, case No. 910/6425/22, annulled the decision to open bankruptcy proceedings. This decision was made due to the fact that the bankruptcy application was signed by a representative of "Fortabud" LLC, the initiator of the bankruptcy, who did not provide evidence that he was an advocate or had other appropriate powers of a representative.

An interesting international divorce case.
Vladimir Potanin, Russia’s second-richest man, is facing one of the world’s biggest divorce claims after Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates.
His ex-wife, Natalia Potanina, is seeking 50% of the value of his stake in MMC Norilsk Nickel PJSC, outlining the maximum amount at a London court hearing Tuesday.
Between 2014 and 2018 the Russian courts heard five different cases brought by the wife. All five cases went on appeal and there were hearings in the Supreme Court and, on one occasion, in the Constitutional Court. There were also proceedings in both Cyprus and the United States. The extensive litigation in Russia related to the wife's ultimately fruitless attempts to obtain half the assets held beneficially by the husband.

In Ukraine, over 30 years, the number of marriages has decreased three times. The number of divorces is also decreasing. So, in 1991, 200 thousand 810 couples divorced, and in 2020 - 119 thousand 253 couples. Women are more likely to think about divorce than men.
I think that the amount of divorces is related to the mentality, the ratio of the number of marriages, as well as the ease of getting a divorce in Ukraine and Russia.

‘Till death do us part’ is no longer the defining feature of the average marriage in some European countries.
